	My overall plan is to dump on you unsuspecting victims all (or at least most) of what I know which is relevant to the construction of an Algebraic Knot Theory so that at the end of this class you will in principle be as ready as I am to carry out independent research on the subject. There are some gaps in my own knowledge; if you don't ~~read~~ on your own, at the end you'll have the same ones too.
