Quandle homology and applications - An overview
by
Scott Carter and Masahico Saito
U. South Alabama and U. South Florida

This talk is an overview of quandles, their homology theories and applications, from history, basics, to most recent developments. We will start with basic constructions with some historical remarks, topological interpretations and the fundamental quandle, and variety of homology theories. Developments and most recent results in computational aspects and applications are discussed.
