Overview

This is a state-of-the-art volume which presents surveys of the field by famous knot theorists. It also includes recent research work by graduate and postgraduate students. The ideas presented cover racks, imitations, welded braids, wild braids, surgery, computer calculations and plottings, presentations of knot groups and representations of knot and link groups in permutation groups, the complex plane and/or groups of motions. This work should be of interest to mathematicians, graduate students and scientists interested in knot theory.
