Knot Diagrams

A knot diagram is a visual representation of a knot, showing how its strands cross over and under each other on a flat surface. It simplifies the complex structure of a knot into a two-dimensional image, with breaks at crossing points to indicate which strand passes over or under. Knot diagrams are used in mathematics and topology to analyze and distinguish different knots, helping to understand their properties and classify them. They serve as a crucial tool for studying the intricate patterns and structures formed by knots in a clear and systematic way.
