Abstract

Every closed orientable 3 3 -manifold is obtained from the 3 3 -sphere S 3 S^3 by Dehn surgery on a link, and thus Dehn surgery is a useful way to construct 3 3 -manifolds. In this survey article we restrict our attention to Dehn surgery on knots in S 3 S^3 and take a quick look at the evolution of study on this field along developments of 3 3 -dimensional topology.
