In fact it is present to the point, that we have only obtained
a precise answer to our original question when we have obtained a precise answer to the classification problem. In this sense one could say that the underlying theme (and even, the main theme) of these notes is the classification problem of real algebraic surfaces. This

has dictated
the plan of these notes
and to some extent the methods used. We explain this. If two algebraic varieties are real isomorphic, then they certainly are complex isomorphic. Hence, our starting point, the well known EnriquesKodaira classification of complex algebraic surfaces, and the plan. To
