The authors introduce for a hyperbolic 3-manifold M with h cusps and for the manifold \(M_ K=M_{(p_ 1,q_ 1,...,p_ h,q_ h)}\) obtained by doing a \((p_ i,q_ i)\)-Dehn surgery on the i-th cusp some positive definite binary quadratic forms \(Q_ 1,...,Q_ n:\) \(Q_ i(p,q)=(length\) of \(pm_ i+q\ell_ i)^ 2/(vol T_ i)\). Here \(T_ i\) is a torus cross section of the i-th cusp. One of the authors' main results: With the above notations, \[ vol M_ K=vol M-\pi^ 2\sum^{h}_{i=1}1/Q_ i(p_ i,q_ i)+O(\sum 1/(p^ 4_ i+q\quad^ 4_ i)). \] Note that the difference of volumes depends to a high order only on the geometry at the cusps and not on the rest of M. Corollary. Let \(\{M_{\nu}\}\) be the set of all hyperbolic 3-manifolds obtained from a given hyperbolic 3-manifold M by doing Dehn surgery on a single cusp of M. Then \[ \#\{\nu: Vol(M_{\nu})<Vol(M)-1/x\}=6\pi x+O(x^{1/2}) \] as \(x\to \infty\). If the Riemann hypothesis is true, then the exponent 1/2 can be replaced by \(67/148+\epsilon\) for any \(\epsilon >0\). Another main result of the paper gives some analytic aspects of a question related to the Chern-Simons invariant of M and to a holomorphic parametrization of deformations of the hyperbolic structures on M [no longer complete - see \textit{W. Thurston}, ''The geometry and topology of 3-manifolds'', Mimeographed Lecture Notes, Princeton (1977/78); the reviewer, Z. Anal. Anwend. 5, 99-110 (1986; Zbl 0581.58040)].
