Here's a program to compute the Kauffman Bracket of a knot using Haskell, written by Dylan Thurston:

Compute the Jones polynomial, in stupid and more clever ways.

Some simple knots for testing.

The ring we work over.  (Really we should work in Laurent polynomials,
but this is the code I had on hand.)

> type R = Ratio (Poly Rational)

> av, ai :: R
> av = (shiftPoly 1) % 1
> ai = recip av

> kauffman :: PD -> R
> kauffman [] = one
> kauffman (Join a b:pd) | a == b    = (-av*av-ai*ai) * kauffman pd
> kauffman (Join a b:pd) | otherwise =
>    kauffman (map (fmap (\c -> if (c == a) then b else c)) pd)
> kauffman (Cross a b c d:pd) =
>   ai * kauffman (Join a b:Join c d:pd)
>     + av * kauffman (Join a d:Join b c:pd)
