Abstract
This chapter summarizes the traditional theory of one- and many-electron systems, which has been developed and successfully applied to many atomic problems over more than seven decades. The presentation is deliberately brief. A more detailed introduction to atomic physics can be found in the textbook by Bransden and Joachain [BJ83]. At a much more formal level there is “Atomic Many-Body Theory” by Lindgren and Morrison [LM85]. Finally we mention “Atomic Structure” by Condon and Odabasi [CO80], where a comprehensive account of conventional atomic structure calculations can be found.
