Introduction to Teichmuller space, the mapping class group, and the curve complex
Abstract: This is the first of a series of two talks. This will provide the motivation and definitions for the next talk. There'll be algebra and pictures and definitions of the three things in the title. No background is assumed (you should know what a quotient group is, I guess).
