This well-written and engaging volume, intended for undergraduates, introduces knot theory, an area of growing interest in contemporary mathematics. 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.
The 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.

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.The opening chapter offers activities that introduce knots and links, including games with knots and addressing questions in knot theory. Subsequent chapters explore knot definition and equivalence; families of links and braids, such as pretzel and torus links; and knot notation, covering DT notation, Gauss codes and diagrams, and Conway notation and rational knots. Additional topics include combinatorial knot invariants, knot polynomials, and unknotting operations and invariants. The final chapter explores virtual knots, including virtual knot invariants and virtual unknotting.
