This book does not follow the design of a traditional math textbook. There are very few complete proofs included, and the exercises are not listed at the end of each section. Instead, this text is an invitation to ponder, question, create, and figure out on your own some beautiful mathematical results in the field of knot theory. Exercises are sprinkled in between statements of definitions, descriptions, and propositions. Some exercises are designed to introduce you to new ideas and to point you in the direction of why or how an idea is important. Other exercises guide you through the technical and subtle arguments that provide the foundation for our understanding of knots and links. Answers are rarely provided in full, but the path toward a solution or proof is illuminated.
