Abstract: Continuing last week's talk, we will introduce Seifert's algorithm and construct Seifert surfaces for knots. We will also define the knot genus and compute it for some knots. Time willing, we will define the knot group of a knot K, the fundamental group of the knot complement with respect to a fixed ambient space.
