Trefoil knot

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.
== Descriptions ==
The trefoil knot can be defined as the curve obtained from the following parametric equations:
:x = \sin t + 2 \sin 2t
:\qquad y=\cos t - 2 \cos 2t
:\qquad z=-\sin 3t
The (2,3)-torus knot is also a trefoil knot. The following parametric equations give a (2,3)-torus knot lying on torus (r-2)^2+z^2 = 1:
:x = (2+\cos 3t)\cos 2t
:\qquad y=(2+\cos 3t )\sin 2t
:\qquad z=\sin 3t
Any continuous deformation of the curve above is also considered a trefoil knot. Specifically, any curve isotopic to a trefoil knot is also considered to be a trefoil. In addition, the mirror image of a trefoil knot is also considered to be a trefoil. In topology and knot theory, the trefoil is usually defined using a knot diagram instead of an explicit parametric equation.
In algebraic geometry, the trefoil can also be obtained as the intersection in C2 of the unit 3-sphere ''S''3 with the complex plane curve of zeroes of the complex polynomial ''z''2 + ''w''3 (a cuspidal cubic).
If one end of a tape or belt is turned over three times and then pasted to the other, a trefoil knot results.〔Shaw, George Russell (). ''Knots: Useful & Ornamental'', p.11. ISBN 978-0-517-46000-9.〕
