The knot (/nɒt/) is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.151 mph or 0.514 m/s). The ISO standard symbol for the knot is kn. The same symbol is preferred by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), while kt is also common, especially in aviation, where it is the form recommended by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The knot is a non-SI unit. The knot is used in meteorology, and in maritime and air navigation. A vessel travelling at 1 knot along a meridian travels approximately one minute of geographic latitude in one hour. (Wikipedia).

Algebraic topology: Fundamental group of a knot
This lecture is part of an online course on algebraic topology. We calculate the fundamental group of (the complement of) a knot, and give a couple of examples. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8yHsr3EFj52yxQGxQoxwOtjIEtxE2BWx

This knot is very useful for adjusting tie downs quickly and easily. For example, a tarp could be held down by a series of these knots and be made very tight so the wind cannot make it rise, and easily be removed simply by sliding the knots later. A taut line knot is also used to keep larg
