An approach to potential scattering is discussed, which is simple, elegant, and very convenient for numerical computations. The problem of evaluating scattering phaseshifts and bound-state energies is discussed. The effect of the potential on the wave function is also analysed. Approximating formulas are given. A powerful representation for the tangent of the phase shift, valid if the potential never changes sign and the phase shift is smaller in magnitude than pi /2, is obtained. Bounds on the phase shifts and on their derivatives with respect to linear and angular momentum are established. (auth)
