Knot Theory Encyclopedia

"Knot theory is a fascinating mathematical subject, with multiple links to theoretical physics," says Ed Witten, recipient of the Fields Medal. The Encyclopedia of Knot Theory is a comprehensive compilation that provides valuable information on this rich and fascinating subject.

Abigail Thompson, a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Davis, spent a pleasant afternoon perusing the Encyclopedia of Knot Theory. She found it to be a comprehensive compilation of clear introductions to both classical and very modern developments in the field, making it a terrific resource for accomplished researchers and an excellent way to lure students, both graduate and undergraduate, into the field.

Knot theory has proven to be a fascinating area of mathematical research, dating back about 150 years. The Encyclopedia of Knot Theory provides short, interconnected articles on a variety of active areas in knot theory, including beautiful pictures, deep mathematical connections, and critical applications.

Many of the articles in this book are accessible to undergraduates who are working on research or taking an advanced undergraduate course in knot theory. More advanced articles will be useful to graduate students working on a related thesis topic, to researchers in another area of topology who are interested in current results in knot theory, and to scientists who study the topology and geometry of biopolymers.

The Encyclopedia of Knot Theory provides material that is useful and accessible to undergraduates, postgraduates, and full-time researchers. The topics discussed in the book provide an excellent catalyst for students to explore meaningful research and gain confidence and commitment to pursuing advanced degrees. The encyclopedia is edited and contributed to by top researchers in the field of knot theory, ensuring the quality and relevance of the content.

In conclusion, the Encyclopedia of Knot Theory is a comprehensive and valuable resource that covers a wide range of topics in this fascinating mathematical subject. It is an excellent tool for both students and researchers, and its accessible yet informative approach makes it a must-read for anyone interested in the field of knot theory.
