In these lecture notes taken by Shun-Cheng Chang, the Ricci flow of a metric of a smooth compact Riemannian manifold without boundary is considered. The main theorem gives a criterion which implies that the Ricci flow has a solution for all times \(t>0\) and that the solutions converge to a metric with constant sectional curvature, provided the manifold has positive scalar curvature. The author shows how the results of \textit{R. S. Hamilton} [J. Differ. Geom. 17, 255-306 (1982; Zbl 0504.53034), J. Differ. Geom. 24, 153-179 (1986; Zbl 0628.53042)] and the author [\textit{G. Huisken}, J. Differ. Geom. 21, 47-62 (1985; Zbl 0606.53026)] can be obtained as an application of the main theorem. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0870.00033].
