The 2013 Seminaire de Mathematiques Superieures in Montreal presented an opportunity for the next generation of scientists to learn in one place about the various perspectives on knot homology, from the mathematical background to the most recent developments, and provided an access point to the relevant parts of theoretical physics as well. This volume presents a cross-section of topics covered at that summer school and will be a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers wishing to learn about this rapidly growing field ER -
