Preface
The purpose of these lecture notes is to briefly describe some of the basic con-
cepts interlacing discrete mathematics, statistical physics and knot theory. I
tried to emphasize a ’mon sense’ as the main method. No
attempt pleteness was made. The book should be accessible to the stu-
dents of both mathematics and physics. I profited from previous books and
expositions on discrete mathematics, statistical physics, knot theory and others,
namely [B
