This book also explains topics, such as the connections between knot theory and surgery.
…a gem and a classicEvery mathematics library should own a copy and every mathematician should read at least some of it. The writing is clear and engaging, while the choice of examples is genius…Rolfsen’s book continues to be a beautiful introduction to some beautiful ideas.
