CS major David DiGioia won third place for his video on knot theory titled, “Can any knot be untied? Intro to knot theory and tricolorability.” This submission is an animation which demonstrates a method of proving that some knots cannot be untied. It uses the idea of tricolorability which comes from the mathematical study of knots. David’s hope is that the video will spark interest in mathematical proofs for those that are unfamiliar and provide an informative and entertaining video for those that are.
