Yuktibhasa seminar series: Introduction to Knot Theory

Abstract: 

The different ways that a rope can be knotted has been an important area of study, both from applied and theoretical points of view. The mathematics tools that are used to study knots begin with simple combinatorial ideas and progress to deep mathematical theories. In this talk we will introduce knot theory and talk about some of its basic invariants. There are no prerequisites for this talk and it should be accessible to everyone.

 

All are cordially invited to the seminar.
