Abstract
Towards the end of the 1980s in the midst of the Jones revolution, V.A. Vassiliev introduced a new concept that has had profound significance in the immediate aftermath of the Jones revolution in knot theory [V]. The importance of these so-called Vassiliev invariants lies in that they may be used to study Jones-type invariants more systematically.
