After a brief discussion of the foundations of surface tension, its implementation for floating objects, capillary waves, bouncing droplets, walking of water striders, etc. is discussed. Furthermore, Marangoni flows, surface tension inspired instabilities, condensation and evaporation of droplets, liquid marbles, superhydrophobicity and superoleophobicity (lotus effect) are introduced. All relevant concepts are illustrated by the numerous qualitative and quantitative exercises. \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                 \n                \n                \u003cp\u003e\n                                        \n                    \u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\n                                        \n                    \u003cbr\u003e\n                                        What is surface tension?\n                    \n                    \u003cbr\u003e\n                                        Wetting of surfaces: the contact angle\n                    \n                    \u003cbr\u003e\n                                        Surface tension-assisted floating of heavy and light objects and walking of water striders\n                    \n                    \u003cbr\u003e\n                                        Capillary interactions between particles.
