Recent years have witnessed a remarkable progress in 2d string theory and quantum gravity. Beginning with matrix models one found a new and computationally powerful description of the theory, free of mathematical complexities. The relevance of these models to string theory comes through a 1/N expansion where 1/N plays the role of a bare string coupling constant g0 st = 1/N . This classifies Feynman diagrams according to their topology; for a fixed topology the sum of all graphs in a dual picture becomes a sum of triangulated surfaces. The continuum theory is then approached by sending the value of lattice spacing to zero.
