Knot theory is essential to finding the grand equation of knitting. This type of topology investigates the fundamental traits and limitations of knotted objects. In the case of physical knots ...

They focused on two fields: knot theory, which is the mathematical study ... and relates those abstract structures to linear algebraic equations, or the familiar equations with Xs, Ys, pluses ...

You may not have heard of knot theory. But take it from Bill Menasco, a knot theorist of 35 years: This field of mathematics, rich in aesthetic beauty and intellectual challenges, has come a long way ...

Known as invariants, these tools form the backbone not just of knot theory but of many areas of mathematics, extracting essential features of mathematical objects and detecting when two objects are ...

There are thousands upon thousands of these kinds of conceptual tangles in a bewildering corner of mathematics known as knot theory, but even there Conway’s discovery was special — not so much ...
