Knot Theory and its Applications

Written By Lillian Craton

Tyrinn Moton, Ethan Farrell

Knot Theory is a relatively ‘new’ branch of mathematics (from the 19th century), which is a sub branch of topology. One of the main challenges remaining in Knot Theory is determining whether two knots are different projections of the same knot. In this presentation, we will discuss specifics of transforming knots, how to classify knots, and how knots can be composed together. Connections to chemistry and biology will also be discussed.
