Description
This programme introduces knot theory. It defines knots as equivalence classes under Reidermeister moves and finds and invariant '3-colourability' which can be used to distinguish knots. They look ...at links and describe the invariant 'linking number'. The programme ends with some knots and links which cannot be classified using these invariants.
