(For In[1] see Setup)

In[1]:= ?KnotDet
KnotDet[K] returns the determinant of a knot K.
In[2]:= ?KnotSignature
KnotSignature[K] returns the signature of a knot K.

Thus, for example, the knots 5_1 and 10_132 have the same determinant (and even the same Alexander and Jones polynomials), but different signatures:

5_1
10_132
In[3]:= KnotDet /@ {Knot[5, 1], Knot[10, 132]}
Out[3]= {5, 5}
In[4]:= {Equal @@ (Jones[#][q]& /@ {Knot[5, 1], Knot[10, 132]}), Equal @@ (Alexander[#][t]& /@ {Knot[5, 1], Knot[10, 132]})}
Out[4]= {True, True}
In[5]:= KnotSignature /@ {Knot[5, 1], Knot[10, 132]}
Out[5]= {-4, 0}
