Top Quark Physics at the NLC

Abstract

A high energy $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ linear collider (NLC) is an excellent tool for studying the properties of the top quark. In this talk I review some of the theory of top quark production and decay in $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ collisions both at threshold and in the continuum. I also report on the results of phenomenological analyses of $t\bar{t}$ production at the NLC.
