58、 just you could prove your own existence by the fact that you are able to think, this isnt actually, according to the British philosopher A. J. Ayer.

66、nciful names such as “Englishmans tie, ” “and “cats paw. ” Knots became the subject of serious scientific investigation when in the 1860s the English physicist William Thomson (known today as Lord Kelvin) proposed that atoms were in fact knotted tubes of ether（醚）. In order to be able to develop the

67、equivalent of a periodic table of the elements, Thomson had to be able to classify knots find out which different knots were possible. This sparked a great interest in the mathematical theory of knots.A mathematical knot looks very much like a familiar knot in a string, only with the strings ends jo

68、ined. In Thomsons theory, knots could, in principle at least, model atoms of increasing complexity, such as the hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms, respectively. For knots to be truly useful in a mathematical theory, however, mathematicians searched for some precise way of proving that what appeared

69、 to be different knots were really different the couldnt be transformed one into the other by some simple manipulation（操作）. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, the Scottish mathematician Peter Guthrie Tait and the University of Nebraska professor Charles Newton Little published complete table

Nevertheless, even without any other application in sight, the mathematical interest in knot theory continued at t

The only difference was that, as the British mathematician Sir Michael Atiyah has put it, “the study of knots became a special branch of pure mathematics. ”Two major breakthroughs in knot theory occurred in 1928

72、and in 1984. In 1928, the American mathematician James Waddell Alexander discovered an algebraic expression that uses the arrangement of crossings to label the knot. For example, t2-t+1 or t2-3t+1, or else. Decades of work in the theory of knots finally produced the second breakthrough in 1984. The
