Abstract: Let $Sigm{a}_{g,p}$ be a closed oriented surface of genus $ggeq1$ with $p$ punctures. Let $mMod(Sigm{a}_{extitg,p})$ be the mapping class group of $Sigm{a}_{g,p}$. Wajnryb proved in [Wa] that for $p=0,1$ $mMod(Sigm{a}_{extitg,p})$ is generated by two elements. Korkmaz proved in [Ko] that one of these generators can be taken as a Dehn twist. For $pgeq2$, We proved that $mMod(Sigm{a}_{extitg,p})$ is generated by three elements.
