Symbolic algorithms for the computation of Moshinsky brackets and nuclear matrix elements

Typical running time:The computation of all Moshinsky brackets in floating-point notation, up to ρ=6, takes about 5 s at a 2.26 GHz Intel Pentium IIII processor with 512 MB; in algebraic form, the same computations take about 13 s. Similarly, the computation of these brackets up to ρ=10 requires in numeric and algebraic form about 5 and 15 min, respectively. Once these coefficients have been stored, however, the program replies rather promptly on most further requests.
