Please Note: Note the unusual time

Gordon and Luecke showed that the knot complements determine the isotopy classes of knots in S^3. In this talk, we will study the topology of various knot complements in S^3: torus knots, cable knots, satellite knots, etc. As an application, we will see some knot invariants using knot complements.
