Organized in honor of K T Hecht, Professor of Physics at the University of Michigan, for his frontier research in group theory and nuclear physics, this symposi

This book consists of pedagogical contributions on currently viable theories of nuclear structure and critical evaluative comments on each of these theories.

The symposium “Computational and Group-Theoretical Methods in Nuclear Physics” was organized to celebrate the 60th birthday of Jerry P Draayer, who is Profe
