Links to pages and two outlines of proofs that show the Borromean rings can't be made from circular rings.
Thomas Fink and Yong Mao, used ideas from statistical mechanics to show there are 85 ways to tie a tie. They discovered a number of new aesthetically pleasing tie knots. This page has links to their original papers and to their book ``The 85 Ways to Tie a Tie''.
This site is designed for mathematics students at the high school and college levels as an introduction to an area of mathematics seldom explored in the typical math classroom - the Theory of Knots.
