Conway-Coxeter friezes and mutation: a survey

In this survey article we explain the intricate links between Conway-Coxeter friezes and cluster combinatorics. More precisely, we provide a formula, relying solely on the shape of the frieze, describing how each individual entry in the frieze changes under cluster mutation. Moreover, we provide a combinatorial formula for the number of submodules of a string module, and with that a simple way to compute the frieze associated to a fixed cluster tilting object in a cluster category of Dynkin type $A$ in the sense of Caldero and Chapoton.
