Groups arise naturally as symmetries of geometric objects, and so groups can be used to understand geometry and topology. Conversely, one can study abstract groups by using geometric techniques and ultimately by treating groups themselves as geometric objects. This book explores these connections between group theory and geometry.

Surfaces are among the most common and easily visualized mathematical objects. This book covers various ways of representing surfaces, combinatorial structure and topological classification of surfaces, topology and smooth structure, and much more.
