Series on Knots and Everything (ISSN: 0219-9769) Series Editor: L H Kauffman (University of Illinois, Chicago) The Series on Knots and Everything: is a book series polarized around the theory of knots. Volume 1 in the series is Louis H Kauffman's Knots and Physics. One purpose of this series is to continue the exploration of many of the themes indicated in Volume 1. These themes reach out beyond knot theory into physics, mathematics, logic, linguistics, philosophy, biology and practical experience. All of these outreaches have relations with knot theory when knot theory is regarded as a pivot or meeting place for apparently separate ideas. Knots act as such a pivotal place. We do not fully understand why this is so. The Series represents stages in the exploration of this nexus. Details of the titles in this series to date give a picture of the enterprise. Published titles Volume 1: Knots and Physics by L H Kauffman Volume 1: Knots and Physics (Second Edition) by L H Kauffman Volume 1: Knots and Physics (Third Edition) by L H Kauffman Volume 2: How Surfaces Intersect in Space An Introduction to Topology by J S Carter Volume 2: How Surfaces Intersect in Space An Introduction to Topology (2nd Edition) by J S Carter Volume 3: Quantum Topology edited by L H Kauffman & R A Baadhio A volume of papers on the relatively new subject of quantum topology and topological quantum field theory Volume 4: Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity by J Baez & J P Muniain Volume 5: Gems, Computers and Attractors for 3-Manifolds by Sóstenes Lins A highly original treatment of combinatorial approaches to 3-manifolds and algorithms for recognising 3-manifolds. Volume 6: Knots and Applications edited by Louis H Kauffman A compilation of research papers devoted to applications of knot theory. The collection includes reprints of Lord Kelvin's work on his theory of knotted vortices and atomic structure. Other applications discussed in the book are vortices in fluids, knotted wormholes in relativity, knotted quantized electromagnetic flux, 2+1 quantum gravity, Witten's invariants of knots and 3-manifolds, Vassiliev invariants and RNA folding, molecular knots and Möbius strips, knots and mathematical foundations, braids and the psychology of impossible figures Volume 7: Random Knotting and Linking edited by K C Millett & D W Sumners Volume 8: Symmetric Bends: How to Join Two Lengths of Cord by R E Miles A new monograph on the properties of specific methods of rope-tying. This is, to our knowledge, the first book on rope-tying to appear in a scientific book series Volume 9: Combinatorial Physics by T Bastin & C W Kilmister Volume 10: Nonstandard Logics and Nonstandard Metrics in Physics by W M Honig Provides a clear introduction to the author's original approaches to foundations of physics and the structure of mathematical formalisms.
