Abstract
The quantum theory of scattering is discussed from the point of view of a time independent formulation. A detailed discussion of the replacement of the ordinary integral equation of scattering by two others is given together with a discussion of the desirability of this procedure both from a physical and mathematical point of view. Variational formulations of these equations are given and their accuracy is indicated by comparison with examples for which exact solutions are known.Keywords
