Jones Polynomial is an invariant of an oriented knot or link which assigns to each oriented knot or link a Laurent polynomial 
 in the variable t^{1/2} with integer coefficients. Though can be computed easily in terms of what are called skein relations, it originally 
 arose from a studying a particular kind of a 'trace' of braid representations into an algebra derived as the quotient of a group ring of 
 braid group. We shall discuss this construction of Jones Polynomial in the first talk. In the second part, we shall discuss the construction 
 of Jones Polynomial from the tangle representation of Knots.
Prerequisites: I would assume familiarity with the definition of a Knot
and the definition of Ambient Isotopy
