Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a representation of knots and links in S3 by integral matrices and then give an explicit formula for the Casson invariant for integral homology 3-spheres obtained from S3 by Dehn surgery along the knots and links represented by the integral matrices in which either all entries are even or the entries of each row are the same odd number. As applications, we study the preimage of the Casson invariant for a given integer and also give formulas for the Casson invariants of some special classes of integral homology 3-spheres.
