Abstract
The graphical representation of angular momentum is used as the basis of a procedure for the complete evaluation of the matrix element of a Coulomb or multipole interaction operator between atomic states having any number of open shells. The method is presented in the form of a step-by-step procedure and is designed to permit straightforward extension to the evaluation of the matrix elements of other types of tensor operators and of sums of products of Coulomb matrix elements, such as occur in the perturbation theory of configuration interaction.
