    Description
    The entropy for extremal black holes is discussed as determined from string theory and from supergravity. Particular attention is paid to black holes with N = 2 and 4 supersymmetry, explaining the agreement for both the terms that are leading and those that are subleading in the limit of large charges. The relevance of these results is discussed in the context of the more recent developments.
