This Atlas is partially (and indirectly) supported by NSERC grant RGPIN 262178. As a Wiki project, it doesn't make sense anymore to acknowledge individual contributors. Yet for historical purposes, here's our acknowledgement as of the conversion to Wiki formnat on August 2005:

  • Jana Archibald, for writing the program Alexander[K, r].
  • Sergei Chmutov, for spotting a typo.
  • David De Wit, for a bug report.
  • Ralph Furmaniak, for help with our link to Knotilus (Section 4.2).
  • Stavros Garoufalidis, for jointly writing the program ColouredJones (Section 7.6).
  • Thomas Gittings, for the minimum braid representatives for the knots with up to 10 crossings (Section 4.4).
  • Jeremy Green, for his java implementation of Kh (Section 7.11).
  • Thang Le, for supplying some of the formulas used in the program ColouredJones (Section 7.6).
  • Rick Litherland, for spotting a sneaky bug in the program KnotSignature.
  • Charles Livingston, for allowing me to bundle data from his Table of Knot Invariants.
  • Scott Morrison, for a bug report and for writing the programs to compute the HOMFLY-PT and Kauffman polynomials (Sections 7.8 and 7.9).
  • Bertrand Patureau-Mirand, for informing me of some mismatches in the link tables (now corrected).
  • Jozef Przytycki, for correcting a typo.
  • Stuart Rankin, for help with our link to Knotilus (Section 4.2).
  • Emily Redelmeier, for writing the program DrawPD (Section 5.1).
  • Siddarth Sankaran, for writing the conversion program between Gauss codes and PD codes and for writing MorseLink and DrawMorseLink.
  • Alexander Shumakovitch, for his help with signature computations (Section 7.4).
  • Alexander Stoimenow, for the knot presentations for the knots in the Rolfsen table and some further remarks.
  • Z-X. Tao, for noticing problems with the knots $ 10_{83}$ and $ 10_{86}$.
  • Morwen Thistlethwaite, for the pictures of links and of 11 crossing knots.
  • Dylan Thurston, for writing a routine to translate from Hoste-Thistlethwaite's DT codes to my ``PD Presentations (Section 4.1).
