We give an elementary survey on Monge-Ampère equations from the view point of contact geometry. The Monge-Ampère equations, even in two independent variables, are very rich in concrete examples arising from analysis, geometry, and physics. On the other other hand, the Monge-Ampère equations are stable under contact transformation and can be well described in contact geometry. One of the main purposes of this survey is to bring into relief various geometric problems through geometrization of the Monge-Ampère equations. Contents: 1. Formulation on contact manifolds, 2. Characteristic systems of Monte-Ampère equations, 3. Monge's method of integration, 4. Classification of Monge-Ampère equations, 5. Global solutions, singularities. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0863.00038].
