In mathematics, specifically in knot theory, the Conway knot (or Conway's knot) is a particular knot with 11 crossings, named after John Horton Conway. [1]It is related by mutation to the Kinoshita–Terasaka knot, [3] with which it shares the same Jones polynomial.
Many knot polynomials are computed using skein relations, which allow one to change the different crossings of a knot to get simpler knots.. In the mathematical field of knot theory, a knot polynomial is a knot invariant in the form of a polynomial whose coefficients encode some of the properties of a given knot.
