66、nciful names such as “Englishmans tie, ” “and “cats paw. ” Knots became the subject of serious scientific investigation when in the 1860s the English physicist William Thomson (known today as Lord Kelvin) proposed that atoms were in fact knotted tubes of ether（醚）. In order to be able to develop the

For knots to be truly useful in a mathematical theory, however, mathematicians searched for some precise way of proving that what appeared

Nevertheless, even without any other application in sight, the mathematical interest in knot theory continued at t

The only difference was that, as the British mathematician Sir Michael Atiyah has put it, “the study of knots became a special branch of pure mathematics. ”Two major breakthroughs in knot theory occurred in 1928
72、and in 1984. In 1928, the American mathematician James Waddell Alexander discovered an algebraic expression that uses the arrangement of crossings to label the knot. For example, t2-t+1 or t2-3t+1, or else. Decades of work in the theory of knots finally produced the second breakthrough in 1984. The
