Introduction to Geometric Knots and Knot Invariants
Preface My motivation behind learning about knot theory goes back to when I learned in quantum physics a knot may be regarded as the orbit of a charged particle in spacetime. Vaughan Jones, who discovered the Jones Polynomial invariant, gave an algebraic definition of such invariants in 2-dimensions. One way of calculating the Jones polynomial…
