Abstract
This thesis is interested in the topological recursion first introduced in \cite{CEO} and generalized to algebraic curves in \cite{Eynard:2007,Eynard:2008}. A presentation of the Hermitian matrix model is given and includes a derivation of this topological recursion. The second part introduces a supersymmetric analog of the Hermitian matrix model first derived in \cite{AlvarezGaume:1991} and know as the Supereigenvalue model. The development of the Supereigenvalue model follows in close parallel with the discussion on the Hermitian matrix model and considers the possibility of finding a supersymmetric generalization of the recursion.
