Abstract
This book is dedicated to the thermodynamic formalism, its extensions, and its applications, with emphasis on the study of the relation to dimension theory and multifractal analysis of dynamical systems. We describe briefly in this chapter the historical origins and the principal elements of the research areas considered in the book. We also describe its contents. Finally, we recall in a pragmatic manner all the notions and results from dimension theory and ergodic theory that are needed later on.
