Biography
Noboru Ito is currently a project researcher at the University of Tokyo, Japan. He was previously an assistant professor and associate professor of Mathematics at the Waseda Institute for Advanced Study, in Tokyo, Japan.
"Overall, this book's clear exposition makes it equally approachable to experts working in knot theory and graduate students who are just learning about the subject. It provides a comprehensive guide to current research on knot projections and different notions of equivalence along with many interesting exercises and open questions for exploration."
- Allison Henrich, Mathematical Reviews, July 2017
