Table of Contents; Preface to the First Edition; Preface to the Second Edition; Preface to the Third Edition; PART I.A SHORT COURSE OF KNOTS AND PHYSICS.; PART II. KNOTS AND PHYSICS -- MISCELLANY.; APPENDIX.
Summary: This invaluable book is an introduction to knot and link invariants as generalised amplitudes for a quasi-physical process. The demands of knot theory, coupled with a quantum-statistical framework, create a context that naturally and powerfully includes an extraordinary range of interrelated topics in topology and mathematical physics. The author takes a primarily combinatorial stance toward knot theory and its relations with these subjects. This stance has the advantage of providing direct access to the algebra and to the combinatorial topology, as well as physical ideas.
