![](/common/images/spacer.gif) A scheme is presented by which Clebsch-Gordan coefficients can be determined by matrix diagonalization. The method uses Mathematica, a system for doing mathematics by computer, and show one way matrix mechanics can be implemented in such a system. The result is a Mathematica package for angular momentum matrix mechanics. It is applied to a one-electron atom in an external magnetic field to explore the competition between spin-orbit interaction and the separate interaction of the spin and orbital moments with the external field.
