| \section{Knots and Sticks} | ||||
|  | ||||
| \definition{} | ||||
| The \textit{stick number} of a knot is the smallest number of \say{sticks} you must glue together to make the knot. An example of this is below. | ||||
|  | ||||
| \begin{center} | ||||
| 	\includegraphics[width=30mm]{images/sticks.png} | ||||
| \end{center} | ||||
|  | ||||
| \problem{} | ||||
| Make the trefoil knot with sticks. \par | ||||
| How many do you need? | ||||
|  | ||||
| \begin{solution} | ||||
| 	\begin{center} | ||||
| 		\includegraphics[width=20mm]{images/stick trefoil.png} | ||||
| 	\end{center} | ||||
| \end{solution} | ||||
|  | ||||
| \vfill | ||||
|  | ||||
| \problem{} | ||||
| How many sticks will you need to make a figure-eight knot? | ||||
|  | ||||
| \begin{solution} | ||||
| 	The figure-eight knot has stick number 7. \par | ||||
| 	In fact, this is the \textit{only} knot with stick number 7. | ||||
| \end{solution} | ||||
|  | ||||
| \vfill | ||||
| \pagebreak | ||||
|  | ||||
| \problem{} | ||||
| Make the knot $5_1$ (refer to the knot table) with eight sticks. | ||||
|  | ||||
| \vfill | ||||
|  | ||||
| \problem{} | ||||
| Show that the only nontrivial knot you can make with six sticks is the trefoil. | ||||
|  | ||||
| \vfill | ||||
|  | ||||
| \problem{} | ||||
| Let $S(k)$ be the stick number of a knot $k$. \par | ||||
| Show that $S(j \boxplus k) \leq s(j) + s(k) - 1$ | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
| \vfill | ||||
|  | ||||
| \problem{} | ||||
| What is the stick number of $(\text{trefoil} \boxplus \text{trefoil})$? | ||||
|  | ||||
| \begin{solution} | ||||
| 	You can make $(\text{trefoil} \boxplus \text{trefoil})$ with 8 sticks. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 	\begin{center} | ||||
| 		\includegraphics[angle=90, width=40mm]{images/stick trefoil composition.png} | ||||
