I will give an overview of the Nielsen-Thurston theory of the mapping class group and its connection to hyperbolic geometry and dynamics. Time permitting, I will discuss the surface entropy conjecture and a theorem of Hamenstadt on entropies of `generic' elements of the mapping class group. No prior knowledge of the concepts involved is required.
