Spring of 1999, when the second author extended and improved his lecture h notes of this minicourse. It contains a systematic and elementary introduction t a to a new area of the theory of quantum groups – the theory of the classical and m quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equations. [ The quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equation is a generalization of the ordinary quantum Yang-Baxter equation. It first appeared in physical litera- 2 ture in the work of Gervais and Neveu [GN], and was first considered from a v 4 mathematical viewpoint by Felder [F], who attached to every solution of this 6 equation a quantum group, and an interesting system of difference equations, 0 - the quantum Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov-Bernard (qKZB) equation. Felder also 8 considered the classical analogue of the quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equa- 0 tion – the classical dynamical Yang-Baxter equation. Since then, this theory was 9 9 systematically developed in many papers, some of which are listed below. By / now, the theory of the classical and quantum dynamical Yang-Baxter equations h and their solutions has many applications, in particular to integrable systems t a
