The aim of this lecture course is to familiarize students with the basics of surface theory, especially with the theory of Teichmuller. This course will be succeeded by [ZUA.B334 : Advanced courses in Geometry D].
Understand the Teichmuller space from two viewpoints: hyperbolic structures and complex structures on the surface.
Teichmuller space. Hyperbolic structures. Complex structures.
