De nition 1.1.1 (Provisional). A knot is a closed loop of string in R
; two knots are equivalent
coincides with the other. Cutting and rejoining is not allowed.

Question 1.2.2. How mightwe prove inequivalence of knots? To showtwoknots are equivalent,
remaining two separate: the entanglement of the rings is dependenton all threecomponents at the

any diagram of that knot. (This is a natural measure of complexity.) A minimal diagram of K is
K of a knot K is obtained by re ecting it in a plane in R
De nition 1.3.1. The mirror-image
De nition 1.3.3. An oriented knot is one with a chosen direction or \arrow" of circulation along
orientation. One may also de ne the inverse r
By analogy with amphichirality, we have a notion of a knot being reversible or invertible if it is
