The hands-on approach features many exercises to be completed by readers. Prerequisites are only a basic familiarity with linear algebra and a willingness to explore the subject in a hands-on manner.\u003cbr\u003eThe opening chapter offers activities that explore the world of knots and links -- including games with knots -- and invites the reader to generate their own questions in knot theory. Subsequent chapters guide the reader to discover the formal definition of a knot, families of knots and links, and various knot notations. Additional topics include combinatorial knot invariants, knot polynomials, unknotting operations, and virtual knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAllison Henrich is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Mathematics at Seattle University.\u003cbr\u003eInga Johnson is Professor of Mathematics at Willamette University.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50412563235090,"sku":"9780486804637","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_9c9bcdb4-192c-4dfb-b88e-0f3adb45d4b9.jpg?v=1729316916","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/an-interactive-introduction-to-knot-theory-9780486804637","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
