## On the first two Vassiliev invariants.(English)Zbl 1116.57300

Summary: The values that the first two Vassiliev invariants take on prime knots with up to fourteen crossings are considered. This leads to interesting fish-like graphs. Several results about the values taken on torus knots are proved.
