Abstract
Two versions of the numerical calculation of the ground state energy of the helium atom are compared. First, the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation with a fixed nucleus is solved, and then the perturbation theory is used. Another version solves this problem exactly. Comparison shows that the difference between the calculation results is 94 kHz.
