| May 14, 2010 at 20:42 | comment | added | Anton Geraschenko | Since there seems to be some controversy about whether this question should be closed, Scott Morrison started a thread about it on meta: tea.mathoverflow.net/discussion/401/embedding-a-circle-in-s3. Please join the discussion there if you want. | |

| May 13, 2010 at 2:22 | comment | added | Charlie Frohman | This is a homework problem. | |
| May 13, 2010 at 1:32 | comment | added | chris | I mean, quite honestly, I'm not in the grad student phase yet, so I simply don't even see why that subset should be a circle, much less why it should be the cinquefoil knot. | |
| May 13, 2010 at 1:28 | comment | added | Robert | i just assumed we do. i have not actually tried it. i guess you use exponential representations of complex numbers? i honestly don't know | |
| May 13, 2010 at 1:16 | comment | added | chris | @ Robert: "this makes much more sense from knot theory rather than basic algebraic topology." I'm curious, how can you solve your problem with just basic algebraic topology and no knot theory? | |
