Quantum Groups and Knot Theory

Prerequisites
It is supposed that the students had some previous exposure to
algebra and linear algebra, including the basic properties of
groups, rings, and fields. Much more than is needed from algebra
can be found in the book Algebra by S. Lang (Springer-Verlag,
2002) as well as in
the Dutch course notes Algebra 1, 2, 3 by P.
Stevenhagen (Universiteit Leiden).
A minimum of what
is needed can be found in the book Algebra interactive by A.M.
Cohen, H. Cuypers, and H. Sterk (Springer-Verlag, 1999). More
useful algebra can be found in Algebra 3: Algorithms in Algebra.
