    Colin Conrad Adams (born October 13, 1956) is an American mathematician primarily working in the areas of hyperbolic 3-manifolds and knot theory.His book, The Knot Book, has been praised for its accessible approach to advanced topics in knot theory.

  3. Link (knot theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_(knot_theory)

    Frequently the word link is used to describe any submanifold of the sphere diffeomorphic to a disjoint union of a finite number of spheres, .. In full generality, the word link is essentially the same as the word knot – the context is that one has a submanifold M of a manifold N (considered to be trivially embedded) and a non-trivial embedding of M in N, non-trivial in the sense that the 2nd ...

  4. 62 knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/62_knot

    In knot theory, the 6 2 knot is one of three prime knots with crossing number six, the others being the stevedore knot and the 6 3 knot. This knot is sometimes referred to as the Miller Institute knot , [ 1 ] because it appears in the logo [ 2 ] of the Miller Institute for Basic Research in Science at the University of California, Berkeley .

  5. Knot polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_polynomial

    Many knot polynomials are computed using skein relations, which allow one to change the different crossings of a knot to get simpler knots.. In the mathematical field of knot theory, a knot polynomial is a knot invariant in the form of a polynomial whose coefficients encode some of the properties of a given knot.

    Sections 10, 11, 12: Properties of a variable extended to all individuals: section 10 introduces the notion of "a property" of a "variable". PM gives the example: φ is a function that indicates "is a Greek", and ψ indicates "is a man", and χ indicates "is a mortal" these functions then apply to a variable x .

  8. Church–Turing thesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church–Turing_thesis

    We list the elements of A effectively, n 0, n 1, n 2, n 3, ... From this list we extract an increasing sublist: put m 0 = n 0, after finitely many steps we find an n k such that n k > m 0, put m 1 = n k. We repeat this procedure to find m 2 > m 1, etc. this yields an effective listing of the subset B={m 0, m 1, m 2,...} of A, with the property ...
