Abstract

In this paper we apply computer algebra (MAPLE) techniques to calculate Alexander polynomial of (3,k)-Torus knots. For this purpose, a computer program was developed. When a positive integer k is given, the program calculates Alexander polynomials of (3,k)-Torus knots from Alexander matrix. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
