Abstract
It is pointed out that in the treatment of the problem of electron scattering by an atom including the effect of the Pauli principle, the use of unsymmetrized wave function and asymptotic conditions in one electron does not ensure the required asymptotic conditions in the other electron. However, the use of symmetrized wave functions automatically ensures symmetrical asymptotic conditions in both electrons.Keywords
