A Short History of Non-cyclic Knot Theory
by
Kenneth A. Perko, Jr.
325 Old Army Road, Scarsdale, New York 10583

This expository paper illustrates some classical non-cyclic milestones in mathematical knot theory, proving (in part) Riley's 1971 conjecture about coverings of the Kinoshita/Terasaka and Conway knots. It also exhibits new, improved diagrams of another eponymous pair of knots.
