NYC Resistor

Learn about counting tieknots, and how that system can help you remember how to tie your tie and broaden your style repertoire.

Tying tieknots can range from mandatory chore that you just want to get through, to a means of self-expression in a part of fashion where self-expression is limited. But how might one describe and share how to tie a particular knot? And can we use a systematic enough description to count how many tieknots could exist, and see whether the ones people use are rare or common?My research enumerating tieknots has been a question on Qi, has been heckled on NPR and helped get me a green card to the US. In this class I will share how counting tieknots can be done, and how the same things that help me count tieknots can help you remember how to tie your tie and broaden your repertoire.You do not need to bring anything - I will be bringing practice ties for everyone to use. If you want to use your own tie, you are of course welcome to.Masks optional, but please be up to date with vaccines.Leader Bio: Mikael Vejdemo-Johansson is a tenured Associate Professor of Data Science at CUNY College of Staten Island and at the CUNY Graduate Center, primarily specialized in Topological Data Analysis.
