In this paper, we compute the Kauffman polynomials of 2-bridge knots using the Kauffman skein theory and linear algebra techniques. Our calculation can be easily carried out using Mathematica, Maple, Mathcad, etc.13 pages, 21 figuresGeometric Topology57M25The Kauffman Polynomials of 2-bridge Knotstext
