Paperback: 280 pages Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA May 23, 1996 Language: English ISBN-10: 0198514905 ISBN-13: 978-0198514909 Product Dimensions: 9.2 x 6.1 x 0.7 inches Shipping Weight: 15.8 ounces *Product Review* "This excellent book is based.on a third-year undergraduate course.The authors have been successful in giving as much motivation as possible for each of the notions considered in the book." --Mathematical Reviews *Product Description* This highly readable text details the interaction between the mathematical theory of knots and the theories of surfaces and group presentations. It expertly introduces several topics critical to the development of pure mathematics while providing an account of math "in action" in an unusual context. Beginning with a simple diagrammatic approach to the study of knots that reflects the artistic and geometric appeal of interlaced forms, Knots and Surfaces takes the reader through recent research advances. Topics include topological spaces, surfaces, the fundamental group, graphs, free groups, and group presentations. The authors skillfully combine these topics to form a coherent and highly developed theory to explore and explain the accessible and intuitive problems of knots and surfaces to students and researchers in mathematics.
