    Collected Works
    Volume: 272022; 316 pp
    MSC: Primary 57; 53

    William Thurston's work has had a profound influence on mathematics. He connected whole mathematical subjects in entirely new ways and changed the way mathematicians think about geometry, topology, foliations, group theory, dynamical systems, and the way these areas interact. His emphasis on understanding and imagination in mathematical learning and thinking are integral elements of his distinctive legacy.

    This four-part collection brings together in one place Thurston's major writings, many of which are appearing in publication for the first time. Volumes I–III contain commentaries by the Editors. Volume IV includes a preface by Steven P. Kerckhoff.

    Volume IV contains Thurston's highly influential, though previously unpublished, 1977–78 Princeton Course Notes on the Geometry and Topology of 3-manifolds. It is an indispensable part of the Thurston collection but can also be used on its own as a textbook or for self-study.

    Readership

    Graduate students and researchers interested in geometric topology, geometric group theory, low-dimensional topology, and dynamical systems of rational maps.

    • These notes constitute the most influential text ever written on the topology and geometry of three-manifolds. Soon after they were released, they dramatically transformed the field of geometric topology in the sense that they gave it a completely new and unpredicted direction which turned out to be highly fecund, providing the necessary tools and techniques for the field development in this direction. Today, these notes remain fresh and the ideas they contain constitute an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
