Abstract
These invariants were first described by V. Turaev and 0. Viro [121]. They possess two important properties. First, just like homology groups, they are easy to calculate. Only the limitations of the computer at hand may cause some difficulties. Second, they are very powerful, especially if used together with the first homology group.
