Let $S := S_{g, n}$ be a surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. We collect all isotopy classes of homeomorphisms of $S$, call it as a "Mapping class group" and denote it as $Mod(S)$ or $MCG(S)$. In this talk I will introduce (1) classification of elements in $Mod(S)$, (2) Actions on some spaces such as moduli space or Teichmuller space, (3) Topological entropy followed by my recent work. This is a joint work with my advisor Harry Hyungryul Baik, Changsub Kim, and Philippe Tranchida.
