You can do a lot with a knot. You can tie your shoe, tie your tie, or even tie your little brother to a chair, and on the way learn a great deal about topology, geometry, and even algebra. Adams gives basic information about the art and science of knot tying, and then expands this to describe tabulating knots; invariants of knots; surfaces and knots; types of knots; polynomials; knots in biology, chemistry and physics; knots, links and graphs; topology; and higher dimensional knotting. He includes many knotty problems and their solutions and even some knotty jokes. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Paperback. Zustand: New. Knots are familiar objects. We use them to moor our boats, to wrap our packages, to tie our shoes. Yet the mathematical theory of knots quickly leads to deep results in topology and geometry. ""The Knot Book"" is an introduction to this rich theory, starting with our familiar understanding of knots and a bit of college algebra and finishing with exciting topics of current research. ""The Knot Book"" is also about the excitement of doing mathematics. Colin Adams engages the reader with fascinating examples, superb figures, and thought-provoking ideas. He also presents the remarkable applications of knot theory to modern chemistry, biology, and physics. This is a compelling book that will comfortably escort you into the marvelous world of knot theory. Whether you are a mathematics student, someone working in a related field, or an amateur mathematician, you will find much of interest in ""The Knot Book"".Colin Adams received the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) Award for Distinguished Teaching and has been an MAA Polya Lecturer and a Sigma Xi Distinguished Lecturer. Other key books of interest available from the ""AMS"" are ""Knots and Links"" and ""The Shoelace Book: A Mathematical Guide to the Best (and Worst) Ways to Lace your Shoes"".
