    "abstract": "These lectures are designed to introduce the methods and results of large N_c\nQCD in a presentation intended for nuclear and particle physicists alike.\nBeginning with definitions and motivations of the approach, we demonstrate that\nall quark and gluon Feynman diagrams are organized into classes based on powers\nof 1/N_c. We then show that this result can be translated into definite\nstatements about mesons and baryons containing arbitrary numbers of\nconstituents. In the mesons, numerous well-known phenomenological properties\nfollow as immediate consequences of simply counting powers of N_c, while for\nthe baryons, quantitative large N_c analyses of masses and other properties are\nseen to agree with experiment, even when ``large\u0027\u0027 N_c is set equal to its\nobserved value of 3. Large N_c reasoning is also used to explain some simple\nfeatures of nuclear interactions.",
