Abstract.
The aim of the present survey mainly consists in illustrating some recently emerged differential and symplectic geometric aspects of the ordinary and higher order linking numbers of knot theory, within the modern geometrical and topological framework, constantly referring to their multifaceted physical origins and interpretations.
