It gives me great pleasure to have the opportunity to join my colleagues John Bardeen and Leon Cooper in discussing with you the theory of superconductivity. Since the discovery of superconductivity by H. Kamerlingh Onnes in 1911, an enormous effort has been devoted by a spectrum of outstanding scientists to understanding this phenomenon. As in most developments in our branch of science, the accomplishments honored by this Nobel prize were made possible by a large number of developments preceding them. A general understanding of these developments is important as a backdrop for our own contribution.
