Abstract

In this article, the author discussed the concept of Mathematical Knot Theory and Knot Polynomial. And finally the author collects different knots which are used in the mathematical knot theory. In Mathematics, a knot is an embedding of a 3 circle in 3-dimensional Euclidean space, R , considered up to continuous deformations (isotopies). A crucial difference between the standard mathematical and conventional notions of a knot is that, mathematical knots are closed-there are no ends to tie or untie on a mathematical knot. Physical properties such as friction and thickness also do not apply, although there are mathematical definitions of a knot that take such properties into account. The term knot is also j n applied to embeddings of S in S , especially in the case j= n-2. The branch of Mathematics that studies about knot is known as Knot Theory.

Keywords
