Microscopic description of log and Coulomb gases

These are the lecture notes of a course taught at the Park City Mathematics Institute in June 2017. They are intended to review some recent results, obtained in large part with Thomas Lebl\'e, on the statistical mechanics of systems of points with logarithmic or Coulomb interactions. After listing some motivations, we describe the "electric approach" which allows to get concentration results, Central Limit Theorems for fluctuations, and a Large Deviations Principle expressed in terms of the microscopic state of the system.
