Talk:Skein relation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

well it almost works - gotta explain why A in the third line of the table instead of -A. I guess I still have a bad direction in the diagrams somewhere...--Kwantus (I know what happened -- my paper diagrams were mirrored)

[edit] Polynomial for cinquefoil was wrong -- fixed

There was a sign missing in the last line of the table. Added a sentence with the final expression for a cinquefoil knot. --GoodExplainer

[edit] Move example and general theory

I think it would be good to move the computation of examples of the Alexander-Conway polynomial to Alexander polynomial (where Alexander-Conway polynomial currently redirects). That way, this page could be for more general statements and theory about skein relations, and we don't fill this page with just examples of computing Jones, HOMFLY, etc. --Chan-Ho (Talk) 05:08, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
