Abstract
In this article, two  and three-dimensional manifolds are examined from different points of view, especially from the geometric and topological point of view. Then their application in other sciences including physics is studied, for example, from the point of view of the theory of relativity. This description and review has been done in a non-technical   language for a   broad audience.
