I will give an example of transforming a knot into closed braid form
using Yamada-Vogel algorithm. From this we can write down the
corresponding element of the knot in the braid group. Finally, the
definition of a colored Jones polynomial is given using a Yang-Baxter
operator. This is a preparation for next week's talk by Anh.
