Hey there, I'm new to this forum, but I just wanted to let you know that I have put out a clebsch-gordan calculator that is a little bit better than the ones I've found out there so far, check it out. http://phys.csuchico.edu/C-G/

Seems nice. Does the python-version run on *nix systems?
 
The python version will run on anything you can install python as well as the easygui and numarray packages on.

thanks!
its very nice
 
Good job Fish. I will no doubt use it in Quantum next year.:biggrin:
 
Hope that it helps, I never was able to figure out how to use those C-G tables that they have in the books, hopefully this gives a useful alternative.
