Has many beautiful images of symmetric knots, and information about a computer program called Knotscape (compiled binaries for Linux, Sunos and Alpha platforms). Includes pictures of knots with 13 crossings or less.
Has a large number of beautiful graphics of knots created with KnotPlot. Contains an introductory section on mathematical knot theory. KnotPlot software for various platfroms can be downloaded.
The most comprehensive collection of knotting resources on the web. Sections on knot tying, mathematical knot theory, knot art, and knot books.
Includes examples, solutions, knot tables, pretty pictures. Course material includes: colouring, Alexander and Jones polynomials, tangles and braids.
Starting with the flawed theory of Kelvin's knotted vortex to the work of Thurston, Jones and Witten, knot theory has circled back to its ancestral origins of theoretical physics.
High school level introduction to knot theory. Covers colourings, connected sums, torus knots, prime knots and applications of knot theory.
Braidlink is software for knot and braid theory computations. It performs both analytic and numerical manipulations of knots and braids.
Biographies of early knot theorists. Many early papers on knot theory (in pdf format) including papers by Tait, Kirkman, Little and Thomson.
Describes how knot theory is used to understand the action of enzymes that affect DNA topolgy (in pdf format).
Comprehensive knot theory site focusing on the knot classification problem and knot tabulations. Has a tabulation of knots with up to 12 crossings.
