Knot operations refer to methods used in the field of knot theory, a branch of topology in mathematics that studies the properties and classifications of knots. A knot is defined as a closed loop in three-dimensional space that does not intersect itself, akin to a tangled piece of string. Knot operations are techniques that allow mathematicians to manipulate these knots to study their properties, relationships, and classifications.
