Tait conjectures

The Tait conjectures are three conjectures made by 19th-century mathematician Peter Guthrie Tait in his study of knots.^[1] The Tait conjectures involve concepts in knot theory such as alternating knots, chirality, and writhe. All of the Tait conjectures have been solved, the most recent being the Flyping conjecture.
