Abstract
A formula for the Alexander polynomial of a 2-bridge knot or link given by Hartley and also by Minkus has a beautiful interpretation as a walk on the integers. We extend this to the 2-variable Alexander polynomial of a 2-component, 2-bridge link, obtaining a formula that corresponds to a walk on the 2-dimensional integer lattice.
