Title	Combinatorics, probability and computation on finite groups
Abstract	I will give a somewhat biased review of recent results on theoretical and practical methods for generating random group elements. Basically we will start by introducing the algorithms and discuss problems from various fields as they arise. No previous knowledge of the subject is assumed.
