Anderson, Michael T. Geometrization of 3-manifolds via the Ricci flow. (English) Zbl 1161.53350 Notices Am. Math. Soc. 51, No. 2, 184-193 (2004). Summary: The classification of three manifolds is a major quest in topology. The author discusses the recent work of Perelman, and the work of Thurston and Hamilton on which it builds, towards classification.
