Recent advances in Quantum Topology assign-series to knots in at least three different ways. The-series are given by generalized Nahm sums (i.e., special-hypergeometric sums) and have unknown modular and asymptotic properties. We give an efficient method to compute those-series that come from planar graphs (i.e., reduced Tait graphs of alternating links) and compute several terms of those series for all graphs with at most 8 edges drawing several conclusions. In addition, we give a graph-theory proof of a theorem of Dasbach-Lin which identifies the coefficient ofin those series forin terms of polynomials on the number of vertices, edges, and triangles of the graph.
