Final Abstract for URS Program

For this project, an expository approach was taking insofar as examining knots groups goes, specifically for torus knots. As such, the first set of materials examined covered the concept of knot groups and the general tenets of knot theory itself. The rest of the time was spent gaining acquaintance with group theory, specifically relating to free groups, and the basics of abstract algebra. The last portion of work spent on the project was examining how all of these theories work together to define the knot groups of torus knots.
