Topological Mythology

Uninstitutionalized

We shall discuss some published misconceptions about the Tait conjectures, Reidemeister moves and Fox coloring. In short, Tait never made them, Maxwell introduced them, and Reidemeister discovered it. Cf. page 7 of J. H. Przytycki's "The Trieste look at Knot Theory" [arXiv:1105.2238v1 [math GT] 11 May 2011].
