Abstract
The aim of this introductory chapter is to present some basic aspects of analysis and topology for the space R(M) of complete Riemannian metrics on a smooth manifold M. We also consider the corresponding moduli space M(M), which is the quotient of R(M) by the action of the diffeomorphism group Diff(M).
