In this introductory talk, we will explain how 3- and 4-manifolds are concretely described in terms of knots and links. We will prove that every closed, oriented 3-manifold is the boundary of some 4-manifold. We will describe some questions related to 3- and 4-manifolds, several open and one recently closed, namely the triangulation conjecture.
