{\red\bf Abstract.} Perhaps every algebra meeting should have one analysis talk (and vice versa),
lest we forget that the other exists. In my role as the outsider, I will tell you today about the
other -- perturbative -- evaluation of path integrals, where instead of hoping that nature will
help us compute faster, we approximate nature by things we already can compute quickly.

Specifically I will tell you how in the Chern-Simons-Witten theory you can perturb the base Lie
algebra from where it's easy towards where it's strong, leading to the strongest genuinely
computable knot invariant we presently have.

I wish I could give my talk in the language of the Kabbalah, but I ain't smart enough for
that. So I'll highlight the Kabbalistic points that we're still missing, and then stick to the
Talmud.
