Historical Note on Knot Polynomial
As of time of writing, a common framework within which to understand the knot polynomials has not yet been discovered.
A possible strategy has been suggested by Victor Anatolyevich Vassiliev, who introduced the concept of the Vassiliev invariant in $1990$, based on his work in singularity theory.
