The purpose of this project is to explore the subject of knot theory. We consider knot invariants, in particular the Alexander polynomial which we show to be well defined and invariant and also the Alexander-Conway polynomial. We discuss both alternating and non-alternating knots in relation to such invariants. The main part of the paper concerns Celtic knots; their construction and the proofs that Celtic knots are alternating, and that alternating knots are Celtic. Finally we investigate another example of mathematical knots in art, the Brunnian links. Summar
