Inhaltsangabe:

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)
