This is an in-depth survey article on one-dimensional dynamics. It includes classical results such as the Sharkovskii theorem and the kneading theory, as well as some of the most recent developments and current directions. Extensive references are provided. The following is how the paper is organized: Section 1 on Topological theory includes continuous maps, circle homeomorphisms, piecewise monotone maps, topological theory of unimodal maps, and tent maps. Section 2 on Distortion theory includes distortion estimates, cross-ratio distortion, and cross-ratio distortion under iterates. Section 3 on Ergodic theory includes expanding maps, absolutely continuous invariant measures for non-expanding maps, stochastic properties, and typical behavior of points for S-unimodal maps. Section 4 on Hyperbolic theory includes symbolic dynamics and topological Markov chains, Axiom A and stability, and hyperbolic sets. Section 5 on Geometric theory includes wandering intervals, circle automorphisms, topological invariance of the Collet-Eckmann condition, and the Feigenbaum universality law. Section 6 on Complex analytic theory includes universality, inducing and box mappings, the real Fatou conjecture, and analytic linearization.
