    Extractions: MATHWORLD - IN PRINT Order book from Amazon Topology Knot Theory General Knot Theory ... Budney Knot Theory The mathematical study of knots . Knot theory considers questions such as the following: 1. Given a tangled loop of string, is it really knotted or can it, with enough ingenuity and/or luck, be untangled without having to cut it? 2. More generally, given two tangled loops of string, when are they deformable into each other? 3. Is there an effective algorithm (or any algorithm to speak of) to make these determinations? Although there has been almost explosive growth in the number of important results proved since the discovery of the Jones polynomial , there are still many "knotty" problems and conjectures whose answers remain unknown.

In actual fact it is the science which demands the utmost imagination. One of the foremost mathematicians of our century says very justly that it is impossible to be a mathematician without also being a poet in spirit... It seems to me that the poet must see what others do not see, must see more deeply than other people. And the mathematician must do the same.

36. David A. Krebes' Personal Home Page
    Includes a thesis work on knot theory and information on schizophrenia.  
    http://www.telusplanet.net/public/dkrebes
    
    Extractions: Dave Krebes // text for first two pictures I have devoted much of my life to the study of knots . In my Ph.D. thesis (math), I show that a seamless unknotted loop (circle) of rope cannot be twisted, contorted or deformed in such a way as to intersect the interior of a sphere in the pair of arcs shown in the first picture (this is commonly known as a square knot). Equivalently: If a curve intersects the interior of a sphere in a square knot then it is genuinely knotted (ie. unalterably different from a circle). For example in the second picture the loop (follow it around it is indeed a single loop) is knotted: A long rubber band cannot be manipulated into this shape without breaking it and gluing the ends back together. We call this a "topological" property of the square knot because it is a geometric property that is independent of lengths, angles, or rate of curvature (The size of the circle doesn't matter. In fact even an ellipse or a heart shape would do). The mathematical field of "algebraic topology", one of the great scientific achievements of the twentieth century, expresses many such properties in terms of boundaries As another exercise, try showing that if you replace each of the two strands of the square knot with two strands that run side-by-side like a pair of railroad tracks through the sphere, for four strands in total, then the situation is opposite to that described above: There is indeed such a disc, or a way to "tie" ("wrap" might be a better word; there are no free ends to tie with) the circle.

    Extractions: Note : 1-1 implies that a knot is not allowed to have self-intersecting points. Such "knots", which are usually called singular knots , are however used in the study of the Vassiliev invariants. Two knots are called ambient isotopic and considered topologically equivalent, iff one may continuously pass from one knot to the other. Let two knots be defined by the 1-1 continuous functions f(s) and f'(s). These knots are ambient isotopic iff there is a function g(s,t), where t belongs to [0,1], and g is continuous with respect to both s and t, such that For a discussion of showing knot equivalence click here .

39. New Ideas About Knots
    Recently I ve discovered two books about knot theory that I can read without feeling So I have been learning a lot of new things about knot theory.

    Extractions: These ideas aren't new to the world, they are new to me (Nancy). They are things that I have discovered since I wrote the basic MegaMath information about knots Recently I've discovered two books about Knot Theory that I can read- without feeling like I had to learn a foreign language and a foreign alphabet. They make me feel perfectly capable of understanding this branch of mathematics. So I have been learning a lot of new things about knot theory. Here are some of my discoveries...

    Extractions: Mathematician Mike Fellows thought up this demonstration of why every knot is a closed circular braid while riding on his bicycle. This is an important lesson for all mathematicians: when you are stuck, don't bang your head on the table! Go outside, take a walk, ride your bike, play catch and gently be aware of the problem you are working on. Make a relaxed place in your brain where a creative solution can build itself. If you have a problem-solving story like this one, send it in! In order to get into graduate school, Mike had to show that he was mathematically capable and promising. His teacher suggested that he try to prove a theorem from Knot Theory: Every knot is a closed circular braid . Knowing that the theorem was true was a good start. Of course Mike could have looked it up, but the idea was to think it up on his own. One day, he was thinking about it while he was riding his bike. The idea for a way to turn any knot into a closed circular braid ocurred to him. He kept thinking about it, and found a reason why it will always work and wrote it up as a proof . It turned out that Mike's proof wasn't the one that his teacher had in mind. He had thought up a proof that was brand new!
