Definately on my "to read" list. Always wanted to study this so I could move onto knot-theory.

- mathgenius 13y agoYou don't need alot of topology to at least get started with knot theory. Eg. the Jones-Conway polynomial or the Kauffman bracket are easy enough to understand and do calculations with. The amazing thing about the Ghrist book is how much high power math he entices the reader into, with interesting applications (robotics, data analysis) and his disarmingly cute diagrams.. I can't wait to see the final product.
