Title: Knots and Their Fibrations
Abstract: A gentle introduction to the amazing world of knot theory and the concept of a fibered knot. In this talk, we establish what a knot is, talk about the surfaces knots bound, and finish off with the definition of a fibered knot along with some examples and fun drawings! It may prove to be a challenge to your visualization skills – one of the goals of this talk is to show the beauty of geometric thinking and visualization in modern mathematics.
