The lectures in this collection are from a summer 2001 lecture series on low-dimensional topology in the 21st century designed to familiarize graduate students and mathematicians with the basics of 3-manifold theory and some topics of current research. The middle part of the series was devoted to Heegaard splittings. After a chapter on preliminaries, Scharlemann, Schultens, and Saito cover definitions and examples of Heegaard splittings, properties of Heegaard splittings, two theorems of Heegaard splittings, and generalized Heegaard splittings.
