In the mathematical field of knot theory, a 2-bridge knot is a knot which can be regular isotoped so that the natural height function given by the z-coordinate has only two maxima and two minima as critical points. Equivalently, these are the knots with bridge number 2, the smallest possible bridge number for a nontrivial knot. Other names for 2-bridge knots are rational knots, 4-plats, and Viergeflechte (German for 'four braids'). 2-bridge links are defined similarly as above, but each component will have one min and max. 2-bridge knots were classified by Horst Schubert, using the fact that the 2-sheeted branched cover of the 3-sphere over the knot is a lens space. (Wikipedia).

Algebraic topology: Fundamental group of a knot
This lecture is part of an online course on algebraic topology. We calculate the fundamental group of (the complement of) a knot, and give a couple of examples. For the other lectures in the course see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8yHsr3EFj52yxQGxQoxwOtjIEtxE2BWx
