content: The mathematician Robert F. Riley (1935-2000) wrote this typescript account of his work on the hyperbolic structure of threee knot complements - and his early career as a knot theorist. It was published some years after his death. Riley mentions his own 1971 efforts to find parabolic representations of knot groups and notes the help he received from G.E. Collins, who provided SAC-1 materials.
