In mathematics, a knot is an embedding of a circle into 3-dimensional Euclidean space. The knot group of a knot K is defined as the fundamental group of the knot complement of K in R3, Other conventions consider knots to be embedded in the 3-sphere, in which case the knot group is the fundamental group of its complement in . (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

Group Theory II Symmetry Groups
Why are groups so popular? Well, in part it is because of their ability to characterise symmetries. This makes them a powerful tool in physics, where symmetry underlies our whole understanding of the fundamental forces. In this introduction to group theory, I explain the symmetry group of
