“Knot theory is a fascinating mathematical subject, with multiple links to theo­retical physics. This enyclopedia is filled with valuable information on a rich and fascinating subject.” – Ed Witten, Recipient of the Fields Medal, “I spent a pleasant afternoon perusing the Encyclopedia of Knot Theory. It’s a comprehensive compilation of clear introductions to both classical and very modern developments in the field. It will be a terrific resource for the accom­plished researcher, and will also be an excellent way to lure students, both grad­uate and undergraduate, into the field.” – Abigail Thompson, Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at University of California, Davis Knot theory has proven to be a fascinating area of mathematical research, dating back about 150 years. Encyclopedia of Knot Theory provides short, intercon­nected articles on a variety of active areas in knot theory, and includes beauti­ful pictures, deep mathematical connections, and critical applications. Many of the articles in this book are accessible to undergraduates who are working on research or taking an advanced undergraduate course in knot theory. More ad­vanced articles will be useful to graduate students working on a related thesis topic, to researchers in another area of topology who are interested in current results in knot theory, and to scientists who study the topology and geometry of biopolymers. Features, Provides material that is useful and accessible to undergraduates, postgraduates, and full-time researchers, Topics discussed provide an excellent catalyst for students to explore meaningful research and gain confidence and commitment to pursuing advanced degrees, Edited and contributed by top researchers in the field of knot theory
