In 1883 Poincaré [13] recognized that the discrete subgroups of PSL(2, C) could be extended from their natural action on the complex plane to acting on hyperbolic 3-space and he attempted to analyze these groups in an analogous manner to his classical treatment of Fuchsian groups, with fundamental polyhedra playing the role of the fundamental polygons for Fuchsian groups. This approach, however, did not lead very far, perhaps not surprisingly when one appreciates the close connection between the geometry of these groups and the topology of 3-manifolds. Since that time the state of knowledge remained essentially unchanged until 1964 when work by Ahlfors [1] and soon afterwards by Bers [3] revitalized the subject of Kleinian groups. The modern approach tends to use analytic methods, although recently Marden [11] has had considerable success in carrying forward Poincaré's geometric approach.
