OverviewThis text is an introduction to classical knot theory. Topics covered include: different constructions of knots; knot diagrams; knot groups; fibred knots; characterization of torus knots; prime decomposition of knots; cyclic coverings; branched coverings and knots; Montesinos links; representations of knot groups; and surgery of 3-manifolds and knots. This edition has been revised and extended to include two new constructions of knot invariants: the Jones and homfly polynomials and the Vassiliev invariants. Most of the topics considered in the book are developed in detail; only the main properties of fundamental groups and some basic results of combinatorial group theory are assumed to be known. The text should be accessible to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics.
