I saw this from about 10 years ago.  Michael's web site is still active.  There is quite a bit there, but I have not taken the time to study it, yet!  I am aware that others have pursued this, also.  Peter Suber (google) once had a knot site and proposed one.

I have the book:  "A Fresh Approach to Knotting and Ropework" by Charles Warner

I may have seen other proposals - can't remember what or where.

I am a retired electronics engineer who does a little programming - mainly Python - and have been doing a little study of mathematical knot theory - not even enough to be dangerous yet!   I have heard there is some python library to support mathematical knots.  Is anyone on the forum still pursuing this?

Blessings!

As far as just a notation i believe Knotmaker by Dave Root and Derek Smith lends a notation for their knot drawing tool.
.
As far as Python specific knot notation (only read about) drqawing/evaluation:
kauffmanstates.py
pyknotid

Hello GrandpaBig,

Can you please clarify if you mean:
1) hand written notation to describe each of the hand movements to tie a particular knot; or
2) software (computer code) - to enable drawing of a knot structure which can be saved to an image format.

Thanks...

I will look into both of those.  I am a Linux guy and have tried running some knot software in past with not too much luck.  I will try again.  Good to have names associated with a software tool!   Thanks so much.

Agent_Smith,

I am usually a "both and" vs an "either or"  guy.  It would just be good to know what is available.   Thanks for the response.
