The modern science of Knot Theory has ramifications for biochemistry and mathematical physics and is a rich source of research projects for undergraduate and graduate students and professionals alike. Quandles are essentially knots translated into algebra.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides an accessible introduction to quandle theory for readers with a background in linear algebra. Important concepts from topology and abstract algebra motivated by quandle theory are introduced along the way.\u003cbr\u003e With elementary self-contained treatments of topics such as group theory, cohomology, knotted surfaces and more, this book is perfect for a transition course, an upper-division mathematics elective, preparation for research in knot theory, and any reader interested in knots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orient Blackswan Pvt Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45616490348695,"sku":"9781470454869","price":1326.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781470454869.webp?v=1769294931","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/quandles-an-introduction-to-the-algebra-of-knots-9781470454869","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
