Title: An overview of astrophysical disc dynamics

Astrophysical discs appear at all scales in the Universe, from rings around planets to galactic discs. Despite the differences in scales and building blocks, they all share similar underlying physical processes. In this talk I will review some of these processes and explain the origin of certain features, such as the spiral arms of galaxies, the fine structures in the rings of Saturn, or the recent observations of gaseous discs where planetary systems are born.
