Six lectures introduce applied knot theory to a broad mathematical audience without assuming any prior knowledge of topology, biology, chemistry, or physics. They cover the theory itself, topological chirality and molecular symmetry, DNA topology, applications in physics, how topology is used in DNA nanotechnology, and the statistical and energetic properties of knots and their relation to molecular biology.
