Under the patronage of Dr. Sameera Naji Khdim, Dean of the College of Science for Women, the Department of Mathematical Sciences, in collaboration with the Rehabilitation and Employment Unit, organized a scientific workshop titled “Seifert Knot Theory.” The workshop was presented by researcher Dr. Ahmed Zaini Al-Yassiri, Associate Professor Dr. Nadia Mohammed Jawad, and Assistant Professor Dr. Farah Jawad Khdim.
The workshop aimed to introduce the concept of mathematical knots, which are mathematical concepts used to study interactions and structures related to knots (or points) that are connected to each other through links or paths. These concepts are part of the branch of mathematics related to knot theory, which focuses on the spatial properties and mathematical structures of knots and the links that connect them.
Knot theory centers on studying how knots can intertwine or overlap with each other in space and how to classify these entanglements. Through this work, the field also explores how to determine whether one knot can transform into another by continuously changing its shape without cutting or drastically altering it.
It is noted that scientific workshops related to mathematical knots serve as a starting point for researchers to exchange ideas, present new research, and explore applications of knot theory in various fields such as physics, chemistry, biology, and geography.
