QCD thermodynamics at not so small chemical potentials

Lattice QCD has already explored much of the bulk thermodynamics at zero quark density. To extend the range of results towards finite chemical potential is highly non-trivial. I review some of the extrapolation schemes that are used to extract finite density information from lattice QCD simulations. While the Taylor expansion is well defined and robust, other schemes exist that may converge faster and allow for more cost efficient extrapolations. I will also discuss the possibility of simulating lattice QCD at finite mu directly.
