This article is an invitation to the world of free probability theory. This theory was introduced by Dan Voiculescu at the beginning of the 1980’s and has developed since then into a vibrant and very active theory which connects with many different branches of mathematics. We will motivate Voiculescu’s basic notion of “freeness”, and relate it with problems in representation theory, random matrices, and operator algebras. The notion of “non-commutative distributions” is one of the central objects of the theory and awaits a deeper understanding.
