     Extractions: Knot Theory Feb 15 2000 I am a mathematician. Once upon a time these words were guaranteed to bring conversation to a shuddering halt, but no more. People's curiosity about maths (you'll have to humour my Britishisms) seems to have been sparked by something: perhaps by the press coverage of the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem; perhaps by the mushrooming culture of the information age; or maybe just by Jeff Goldblum and Matt Damon trying to convince us that maths was the new rock 'n roll (I'm not ready to give up the old one yet). So what is it that I do then? To answer the first common question: it has nothing to do with computers, statistics, cryptography or finance. I am a pure mathematician, which means that I spend most of my day sitting in a room with pen and paper and thinking. (Of course I do use a computer, but only for emailing, word processing and finding out the current cricket scores.) I study topology, which can be thought of as a qualitative version of geometry: topologists are interested not in distances or angles but in the overall shapes of things. The prime example is knot theory: everybody can understand that these two knotted strings are different, in the sense that without some kind of cutting and rejoining (this Gordian option not being allowed!) you can't turn one of them into the other. We care nothing about physical or quantitative aspects such as length, thickness, material composition, curvature and so on, but only about the different ways in which these loops are entangled in space. The starting point for the knot theorist, then, is to formulate this sentence as a precise mathematical assertion and to prove it. Although there was plenty of interest in knots before 1900 for example, the speculation by Maxwell, Tait and Kelvin that perhaps atomic, knotted loops of magnetic flux might explain the existence and behaviour of the chemical elements this was on the whole educated hand-waving, and it was not until the 20th century that any really rigorous framework was worked out.

     Extractions: Recommend this site Divisibility criteria are ways of telling whether one number divides another without actually carrying the division through. Implicit in this definition is the assumption that the criteria in question affords a simpler way than the straight division to answer the question of divisibility. Divisibility criteria re constructed in terms of the digits that compose a given number. To fix the notation, A will be the number whose divisibility by another number d we are going to investigate on this page. In the decimal system, A = 10 n a n n-1 a n-1 a + a a n 0. We readily have several examples: They all follow from the two basic properties of the modulo arithmetic [A] d + [B] d = [A + B] d [A] d d d and the fact that 10 = 1 (mod 9) and 10 = -1 (mod 11), from which we successively get 10

     Extractions: This article appeared in the New York Times on August 12, 2003. Of all the major Bronze Age civilizations, only the Inca of South America appeared to lack a written language, an exception embarrassing to anthropologists who habitually include writing as a defining attribute of a vibrant, complex culture deserving to be ranked a civilization. Inca Khipu: An Inca khipu, top, and a khipu at the American Museum of Natural History. The only possible Incan example of encoding and recording information could have been cryptic knotted strings, which are unlike anything that sailors or Eagle Scouts tie. The Inca left ample evidence of the other attributes: monumental architecture, technology, urbanization and political and social structures to mobilize people and resources. Mesopotamia, Egypt, China and the Maya of Mexico and Central America had all these and writing too. The only possible Incan example of encoding and recording information could have been cryptic knotted strings known as khipu. The knots are unlike anything sailors or Eagle Scouts tie. In the conventional view of scholars, most khipu (or quipu, in the Hispanic spelling) were arranged as knotted strings hanging from horizontal cords in such a way as to represent numbers for bookkeeping and census purposes. The khipu were presumably textile abacuses, hardly written documents.

     Extractions: Knots have been studied extensively by mathematicians for the last hundred years. Recently the study of knots has proved to be of great interest to theoretical physicists and molecular biologists. One of the most peculiar things which emerges as you study knots is how a category of objects as simple as a knot could be so rich in profound mathematical connections. Here are a variety of activities for exploring knots made from pieces of rope. Students can make and verify observations about knots, classify them, combine them, and find ways to determine if two knots are alike. The activities outlined here can be combined to form a single lesson about mathematical knots, or a larger investigative unit that extends over a longer period of time. The sequence in which the activities are listed is roughly in order of increasing difficulty and challenge, but all of the earlier activities are not strict prerequisites for the later ones. Finding ways to make precise spoken or written statements about an inherently spatial and manipulative experience is a meaningful and interesting challenge for all students. Teachers can help students learn to do this by helping them develop classroom conventions for naming knots, parts of knots, groups of knots, or for labeling parts of knots to make them easier to talk about. Although presentations and discussions are appropriate as a whole-class activity when studying knots, most of these activities will work best when students work individually, in pairs and small groups. It is important for each stu dent to be able touch and twist the knots that they are thinking about.

     Extractions: Next: Geometry, topology and homotopy Differential Geometry C.T.J. Dodson General description: Differential geometry begins with the study of curves and surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Using vector calculus and moving frames of reference on curves embedded in surfaces we can define quantities such as Gaussian curvature that allow us to distinguish among surfaces. The extension of the theory to higher dimensions leads to the study of n-manifolds, 1-manifolds being curves and 2-manifolds being surfaces. A distance structure was provided by Riemann and so we study Riemannian n-manifolds, their curvature and curves in them. We consider geodesic (literally, `divide the Earth') curves, which give extremal paths in n-manifolds, generalizing lines in the plane and great circles on a sphere. Some animations of curves, surfaces and knots Notes On Making Mathematical Notes For Your Course (PDF format). Course description: Tangent vectors, vector fields, differentiable maps; curves, Frenet frames; surfaces, shape operator, Gaussian and mean curvature; n-manifolds, metric, Riemann curvature and geodesics.
