New Directions in Geometric and Applied Knot Theory

The aim of this book is to present recent results in both theoretical and applied Knot Theory - which are at the same time stimulating for leading researchers in the field as well as accessible to non-experts. The book comprises recent research results while covering a wide range of different sub-disciplines, such as the young field of geometric knot theory, combinatorial knot theory, as well as applications in microbiology and theoretical physics.
