This note covers some topics related to the
classification of manifolds. The emphasis will be on manifolds of low dimension
and cases where it is possible to obtain very precise information.
The book is
divided into two parts, called Algebra and Topology. In principle, it is
possible to start with the Introduction, and go on to the topology in Part II, referring back to Part I for novel algebraic concepts.
The intent of this lecture note is to describe the very strong
connection between geometry and lowdimensional topology in a way which will
be useful and accessible to graduate students and mathematicians working in
related fields, particularly 3-manifolds and Kleinian groups.
