As the name suggests it is an introductory book (in graduate level) about knots. By knot we mean a smooth embedding of a circle in 3 dimensional space. We are interested to know if two different knots are isotopic or not (notion of equivalency), and also we are interested in topological aspects of knots, We solve such problems mostly using invariants.
Knot theory is a very important part of low dimensional topology and the study of 3 manifolds (And recently in some areas of theoretical physics). ...more
