And how many other possibilites are there? Two Cambridge University physicists, research fellows working from the Cavendish laboratories, have discovered via a recherche branch of mathematics - knot theory - that although only four knots are traditionally used in tying neck ties another 81 exist. This is the story of their discovery, of the history of neck ties and of the equations that express whether a tie is handsome or not. Of the 81 new knots, 6 are practical and elegant. We now have somewhere else to go after the Pratt, the Four-in-Hand, the Full and Half Windsor. Sartorial stylishness is wrapped effortlessly around popular mathematics. A concept developed to describe the movement of gas molecules - the notion of persistent walks around a triangular lattice - also describes the options for tie tying. Pure maths becomes pure fashion in a delightfully designed little package from Fourth Estate.Two Cambridge physicists have untraveled the full potential of the twist and turns of the neck tie and liberated men's fashion from the tyranny of limited choice. They discovered that a concept developed to describe the movement of gas molecules also describes the options for tie tying. There are in fact 85 ways to tie a tie. This is the story of their discovery, of the history of neck ties and of the equations that express whether a tie is handsome or not. Style and science are effortlessly combined in this beautifully illustrated little volume."Covering some 350 years of the history, this small volume packs in every imaginable knot, with instructions on tying 85 of them.
