Exploration Of Piccirillo's Trick On Low Crossing Number Knots, Gabriel Adams Mar 2022

Exploration Of Piccirillo's Trick On Low Crossing Number Knots, Gabriel Adams

Honors Theses

Piccirillo recently discovered a process that can be applied to an unknotting number one knot to convert it into a different knot called a Piccirillo dual. Piccirillo duals have been shown to have the same n-trace and the same sliceness. However, exploration and knowledge of this process is limited. We were able to generate the Piccirillo duals for several low-crossing number knots. We offer the foundation for and explain how to follow the Piccirillo process and generate Piccirillo duals. This talk assumes little knowledge of knot theory and concisely gives newcomers a clear introduction to get started working with Piccirillo …

I'd like to learn "Mathematica." "Mathematica" is probably the most~ powerful mathematics software available. It was developed and continues to be upgraded at Wolfram Research in Champaign. The U. of I. as well as many colleges and universities across the nation teach some sections of their calculus courses with "Mathematica." Also, several of the high schools in our district have students enrolled in "Calculus with Mathematica" through a distance learning program at the U. of I.
