This course is an introduction to the logic of conditionals and the logic of belief revision. We explain how formal tools familiar from conditional logic have been used to give models of belief revision. We will also show that the logical properties that these systems share raise interesting philosophical questions about natural language conditionals, about how we should revise our beliefs in the face of new information, and about the relationship between these two areas of study.
