N1 - 3-manifolds are spaces that locally resemble Euclidean 3-dimensional space. The study and classification of such manifolds is of central concern in topology and geometry. We introduce the notion of surgery on a link as a means of obtaining 3-manifolds; a deep result of Lickorish and Wallace tells us that all sufficiently nice 3-manifolds can be obtained by such surgery.
