Abstract: Random matrices and random tilings provide an example of strongly interacting variables. To analyze their asymptotics, a central tool is the uses of the Dyson-Schwinger equations. Following this approach we will discuss the central limit theorem and the topological expansion for random matrices. We will show how such ideas extend to random tilings.
