Overview of the theory of W/Z + jets and heavy flavor

Abstract

I review the status of theoretical predictions for events containing a W or Z boson and jets, one or more of which may include heavy quarks. Special attention is paid to comparisons between different theoretical approaches and with the latest experimental data.
