Abstract
We use skein theory to compute the coefficients of certain power series considered by Habiro in his theory of invariants of integral homology –spheres. Habiro originally derived these formulas using the quantum group . As an application, we give a formula for the colored Jones polynomial of twist knots, generalizing formulas of Habiro and Le for the trefoil and the figure eight knot.
