I explain two ways to convert a word in the generators of Artin's… knots +3 More From Eric Samperton 39 plays 0 Date of creation 2/9/2021 6:00 AM

I give some examples, calculate the homology of a lens space, and introduce normal curves. We then introduce knots and discuss the… heegaard diagram +4 More From Eric Samperton 55 plays 0 Date of creation 2/4/2021 6:00 AM
