Heavy-Ion Physics (QCD under Extreme Conditions) First question you should ask: WHY??
Motivation and some disturbing facts
Collective effects x “fundamental” physics
Second question you should ask: WHERE??
Accelerator experiments, astro, early universe
My focus: the EoS
Third question you should ask: HOW??
Theory, models, etc Effective model building
Z(N), the Polyakov loop, and confinement
