Knots Unravelled

This little book is full of big ideas and exudes all the qualities associated with first-rate mathematical exposition. It provides a clear and stimulating introduction to the profound area of mathematics known as knot theory. It does this in such a way that almost the first half of the book can be understood by anyone with little mathematical knowledge. The book’s central theme is the classification of knots by invariants and distortions know as Reidermeister moves. The invariants include crossing numbers, un-knotting numbers, three-colourability, linking numbers and polynomials.
