by De Witt L. Sumners, Nicholas R. Cozzarelli

1992 · American Mathematical Soc.

The symposium was held in Baltimore, Maryland, January 1992. Discussing a subject usually associated only with abstract mathematics, the papers appeal to a wide audience including physicists, chemists, and biologists. Topics include: the evolution of DNA topology, geometry and topology of DNA and DNA-protein interactions, knot theory and DNA, topology of polymers, knots and chemistry, and knots and physics.
