Animated Knots 
The knots are grouped by area of interest which means that some knots will appear in more than one place. Select the area of interest you need with the buttons or the pictures above, or go to the The Knot List to find the knot by name. If you know what you want to do, but don't know the name, look in the Uses page for that area. Each knot automatically "ties itself" when the page opens. To study
each stage, the animation can also be played step by step: just move
the mouse over the row of numbered buttons under the knot. For many
knots an extra button, Structure, shows a picture which helps
understand the way the knot "fits together". http://www.animatedknots.com/

Mathematical Imagery
Explore the World of Mathematics and Art- The connection between mathematics and art goes back thousands of years. Mathematics has been used in the design of Gothic cathedrals, Rose windows, oriental rugs, mosaics and tilings. Geometric forms were fundamental to the cubists and many abstract expressionists, and award-winning sculptors have used topology as the basis for their pieces. Dutch artist M.C. Escher represented infinity, Möbius bands, tessellations, deformations, reflections, Platonic solids, spirals, symmetry, and the hyperbolic plane in his works. http://www.ams.org/mathimagery/
