We'll first define biquandles, and then introduce a few knot invariants relating to them. These include biquandle counting invariants, 2-cocycle state sums, and biquandle brackets. Time permitting, we'll further explore the connections between these invariants. Bolz Hall 422 Department of Mathematics math@osu.edu America/New_York public
