Welcome to the home of the new Knot Atlas! This site aims to be a complete user-editable knot atlas, in the wiki spirit of Wikipedia. This site supersedes Dror Bar-Natan's Knot Atlas. It is being developed primarily by Scott and Dror, but any one can edit almost anything, anytime.
Extra: Tube plots with TubePlot.
See also: Jeremy Green's Table of Virtual Knots, Chuck Livingston's amazing Table of Knot Invariants, Hermann Gruber's atlas of rational knots and Paul Zinn-Justin's alternating virtual link database.
"God created the knots, all else in topology is the work of mortals."
Leopold Kronecker (modified)
"Among Violet's many useful skills was a vast knowledge of different types of knots"
Lemony Snicket, A Series Of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning
More Stuff
- Scott's MediaWiki Mathematica package provides a simple mediawiki interface, supporting accounts, in Mathematica, and works for MediaWiki 1.4beta5. (The bleeding edge version also supports file upload, and works with 1.4.7.)
todo list
- something is wrong with the clock? have a look at recent changes.
- search is broken
cosmetic
- remove redundant items from the menu on the left
- images galleries [1]
- collapsible sections??
fundamental decisions
- how to incorporate knot tables
- how to store data for invariants?
- this probably isn't a good idea, but someone has written an extension for incorporating XML data. [2]
writing templates
- see [3] and [4]
- a start at the knot data template, and the File:K3a1.gif Trefoil, and 5_1
- playing with conditional transclusion
mathematica
- write an `auto-splicer'? Dror is working on this!
