Abstract: We study zeros of the Jones polynomial and their distributions for torus knots and 2-bridge knots. We prove that e(2m+1)πi/2and e(2m+1)πi/4(m is a positive integer)can not be the zeros of Jones polynomial for torus knots T p,q by the knowledge of the trigonometric function. We elicit the normal form of Jones polynomials of the 2-bridge knot C(-2, 2, ···,(-1)r2) by the recursive form and discuss the distribution of their zeros. 

Key words: Jones polynomial, zeros, torus knot, 2-bridge knot
