Encyclopedic website dedicated to knot theory

***The Knot Atlas*** is a [website](/source/Website), an [encyclopedia](/source/Encyclopedia) rather than atlas, dedicated to [knot theory](/source/Knot_theory). It and its predecessor were created by mathematician [Dror Bar-Natan](/source/Dror_Bar-Natan), who maintains the current site with Scott Morrison. According to Schiller, the site contains, "beautiful illustrations and detailed information about knots," as does *KnotPlot.com*.[1] According to the site itself, it is a knot [atlas](/source/Atlas) (collection of maps), theory [database](/source/Database), [knowledge base](/source/Knowledge_base), and "a home for some [computer programs](/source/Computer_program)".[2]
