Curve
In mathematics, a curve (also called a curved line in older texts) is, generally speaking, an object similar to a line but that need not be straight.

DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a thread-like chain of nucleotides carrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses.

DNA supercoil
DNA supercoiling refers to the over- or under-winding of a DNA strand, and is an expression of the strain on that strand.

Euclidean space
In geometry, Euclidean space encompasses the two-dimensional Euclidean plane, the three-dimensional space of Euclidean geometry, and certain other spaces.
New!!: Writhe and Euclidean space · See more »
Integer
An integer (from the Latin ''integer'' meaning "whole")Integer 's first literal meaning in Latin is "untouched", from in ("not") plus tangere ("to touch").

Integral
In mathematics, an integral assigns numbers to functions in a way that can describe displacement, area, volume, and other concepts that arise by combining infinitesimal data.

Knot (mathematics)
In mathematics, a knot is an embedding of a circle S^1 in 3-dimensional Euclidean space, R3 (also known as E3), considered up to continuous deformations (isotopies).

Knot invariant
In the mathematical field of knot theory, a knot invariant is a quantity (in a broad sense) defined for each knot which is the same for equivalent knots.

Knot theory
In topology, knot theory is the study of mathematical knots.

Link (knot theory)
In mathematical knot theory, a link is a collection of knots which do not intersect, but which may be linked (or knotted) together.

Linking number
In mathematics, the linking number is a numerical invariant that describes the linking of two closed curves in three-dimensional space.

Real number
In mathematics, a real number is a value of a continuous quantity that can represent a distance along a line.

Reidemeister move
In the mathematical area of knot theory, a Reidemeister move is any of three local moves on a link diagram.

Ribbon theory
Ribbon theory is a strand of mathematics within topology that has seen particular application as regards DNA.

Right-hand rule
In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a common mnemonic for understanding orientation conventions for the vector cross product in three dimensions.

Twist (mathematics)
In mathematics (differential geometry) twist is the rate of rotation of a smooth ribbon around the space curve X.

Winding number
In mathematics, the winding number of a closed curve in the plane around a given point is an integer representing the total number of times that curve travels counterclockwise around the point.
