The Geometry and Topology of Three-Manifolds
by William P. Thurston
Electronic version 1.1 - March 2002 - with an index!
http://library.msri.org/books/gt3m
This is an electronic edition
of the 1980 lecture notes distributed by Princeton University.
The text was typed in TeX by Sheila Newbery, who also scanned the figures.
Typos have been corrected (and probably others introduced), but
otherwise no attempt has been made to update the contents.
Genevieve Walsh
compiled the index.
Numbers on the right margin correspond to the original edition's page numbers.
Thurston's Three-Dimensional Geometry and Topology, Volume 1
(Princeton University
Press, 1997) is a considerable expansion of the
first few chapters of these notes. Later chapters have not yet
appeared in book form.
Please help improve this document by sending to Silvio Levy at
levy@msri.org any useful
information such as
- reports of typos, omissions, and departures
from the printed notes that are not purely stylistic
- references for results attributed without citation
- references to solutions of then-open problems
