      The authors survey some of the applications of hyperbolic geometry in 3-manifold topology. In particular, the focus is to study the existence of a hyperbolic structure on knot complements in the standard 3-sphere. Some results on the volume computation of hyperbolic 3-manifolds are presented. Finally, a discussion on invariants associated with the hyperbolic structure completes the paper.
