[For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00022.] This survey paper gives a readable exposition of the new polynomial invariants of knots, including the braid theory approach using the Hecke algebra, for the Homfly polynomial, and the analogous relation between the Kauffman polynomial and the Birman-Wenzl algebra. The second part of the paper describes the use of vertex models arising from statistical mechanics and shows how these ideas can be used in constructing knot invariants.
