WClips/Navigation

Back to WKO.
Next Meeting. Wednesday February 29, 2012, 12-2, at Bahen 4010. We'll continue with Sections 3.1-3.4, on the basics of w-knots: what they are (along with some variants), their finite type invariants and some computational results, and the existence of an expansion. Hopefully we will also have time to get into Section 3.5, on Jacobi diagrams, trees, and wheels.

Announcements. small circle, wide circle, UofT, LDT Blog (also here).

Resources. How to use this site, Dror's notebook, blackboard shots.
