Good afternoon everyone. Mark & I intended to present you all with a new challenge and a promise. The old challenge is to continue on with your quest to understand the rotate: what value should we assign R in any sequence of twists and rotates?
The new challenge is supposed to help you meet the old challenge: study the following 3 knots and how to value R in each appearance:

ReplyDeleteThe new challenge is supposed to help you meet the old challenge: study the following 3 knots and how to value R in each appearance:
(a) TTRTT
(b) TTTTRTTTR = (T^4)R(T^3)R
(c) TTTTTTTTR = (T^8)R
The promise is that I'll finish a little handout on the ropes and that we'll return to this our first class on Aug 31.
