Abstract
Need for quantum mechanical solution of few-body to many-body systems in physics is emphasized. Requirement of appropriate symmetry of the wave function under exchange of pairs of identical particles in the system is discussed. Quantum numbers are introduced for classification of states. Good quantum numbers are defined. Hyperspherical harmonics expansion method (HHEM) is an ab initio technique which can be generalized for systems with more than three particles.
