Original creator description

In topology, a branch of mathematics, the trefoil knot is the simplest example of a nontrivial knot. The trefoil can be obtained by joining together the two loose ends of a common overhand knot, resulting in a knotted loop. As the simplest knot, the trefoil is fundamental to the study of mathematical knot theory, which has diverse applications in topology, geometry, physics, chemistry and magic. The trefoil knot is named after the three-leaf clover (or trefoil) plant. This hosted file keeps creator credit and Creative Commons CC0 1.0 details.
