OverviewThis book is a survey of current topics in the mathematical theory of knots. For a mathematician, a knot is a closed loop in 3-dimensional space: imagine knotting an extension cord and then closing it up by inserting its plug into its outlet. Knot theory is of central importance in pure and applied mathematics, as it stands at a crossroads of topology, combinatorics, algebra, mathematical physics and biochemistry. * Survey of mathematical knot theory* Articles by leading world authorities* Clear exposition, not over-technical* Accessible to readers with undergraduate background in mathematics Full Product DetailsAuthor: William Menasco , Morwen ThistlewaitePublisher: Elsevier Science Imprint: Elsevier Science ISBN: 9781280621758ISBN 10: 1280621753 Pages: 492 Publication Date: 01 January 2005 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Undefined Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
