The Knot Book by Colin C. Adams

"The Knot Book" by Colin C. Adams explores the mathematical study of knots—loops of string embedded in three-dimensional space—and their properties. It explains how knots can be classified, distinguished, and analyzed using mathematical tools, revealing patterns and complexities beyond everyday intuition. The book covers topics like knot invariants and the significance of knots in science and mathematics, helping readers understand how simple loops can lead to rich, intricate structures. Designed for a broad audience, it offers a clear introduction to knot theory's beauty and its applications in fields such as biology, chemistry, and physics.
