From prehistory to the present, knots have been used for purposes
both artistic and practical. 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. This 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.
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.
