{"product_id":"9780486818740","title":"An Interactive Introduction to Knot Theory","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\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","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082950131952,"sku":"9780486818740","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486818740_p0.jpg?v=1763708990","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486818740","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
