This book grew out of a short course on Knots and Physics. The authors use ideas and methods of mathematical physics to extract topological information about knots and manifolds. The book features a basic introduction to knot polyomials in relation to statistical link invariants as well as concise introductions to topological quantum field theories and to the role of knot theory in quantum gravity.
