Determining the number of components of a link from its planar graph.

Coauthors: Tim Nawojski, Holly Walrath

These are partial results of current research with undergraduates. In this talk we present techniques for computing the number of components of a link from its planar graph. We will discuss these results in the context of prior work with the planar graph of a knot or link.
