Computing boundary slopes of 2-bridge links

We describe an algorithm for computing boundary slopes of 2bridge links. As an example, we work out the slopes of the links obtained by 1/k surgery on one component of the Borromean rings. A table of all boundary slopes of all 2-bridge links with 10 or less crossings is also included.
