Asymptotic dimension is a large-scale analogue of Lebesgue covering dimension. I will give a gentle introduction to asymptotic dimension, prove some basic propeties and give some applications to group theory. I will then define coarse homology and explain how when defined, virtual cohomological dimension gives a lower bound on asymptotic dimension.
