Hochladen

Fiber

The article originally contained a misleading excerpt from MathWorld which stated that algebraic links were fibered and arose from algebraic geometry. Not all algebraic links are fibered (for example, even among rational knots one can find non-fibered examples), and the "algebraic" terminology isn't because of algebraic geometry. Thus, I've modified the stub and removed the reference to MathWorld. --C S (Talk) 08:35, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not the most common definition

This term is used like the article defines in the mathematical literature, but is not the most common modern meaning: instead, "algebraic link" usually means the link of an algebraic singularity. I will add the other definition when I have a chance. --Dylan Thurston (talk) 20:41, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
