I have to submit a project within 2 months for 4th semester(M.Sc). I wish to do it on knot theory, although I know little about it. My plan is to make it an introduction to the subject and to introduce Jone's Polynomial, Conway's Polynomial, Knot group and some examples to show what they exactly do. Can anyone suggest what material should I cover?(Readers are familiar with Homotopy, but not isotopy). In case you do not get it, I want suggestion on what the content should be or may be an outline. Thaks in advance..
