It also serves as a guide to more advanced material. The book begins with a basic and informal introduction to knot theory, giving many examples of knot invariants before the class of Vassiliev invariants is introduced. This is followed by a detailed study of the algebras of Jacobi diagrams and 3- graphs, and the construction of functions on these algebras via Lie algebras. The authors then describe two constructions of a universal invariant with values in the algebra of Jacobi diagrams: via iterated integrals and via the Drinfeld associator, and extend the theory to framed knots"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Knot theory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85072726 650 0 Invariants.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85067665 650 7 Knot theory.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/988171 650 7 Invariants.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/977982 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Duzhin, S.
