It begins at an elementary level and discusses the genus 1 case in detail. The notes then give an informal treatement of Teichmuller space and higher genus moduli spaces. The point of view is generally topological and analytical.Latex file; 54 pages, 15 figures. To be published in the ICTP Lecture Notes SeriesAlgebraic GeometryGeometric Topologytext
