As part of a series exploring why knot theory serves as a nexus for math, physics, biology, and philosophy, this volume probes the quantum topology links between the pivotal objects of study in low-dimensional geometric topology including classical knots and such exotic algebraic objects as Hopf algebras and monoidal categories. Yetter (mathematics, Kansas State U.) covers basic concepts and categories, and provides proofs of some universally assumed "folk theorems," examples of knot diagrams, and 63 references. The section on deformations assumes some familiarity with algebraic deformation theory and homological algebra. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
