Knot Theory

Knot Theory is a branch of mathematics that studies knots, which can be thought of as loops in three-dimensional space. It focuses on how these loops can be twisted and intertwined without cutting them apart. This area of study has applications in various fields, including biology (understanding DNA strands), physics (analyzing molecular structures), and theoretical computer science (solving complex algorithms). By categorizing and analyzing different types of knots, researchers gain insights into their properties and relationships, contributing to a deeper understanding of both mathematical structures and real-world phenomena.
