<Leonard C. Maximon> developed mathematical tools for <quantum electrodynamics> and contributed to the <NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions>. His authored chapter on angular-momentum symbols organizes the coefficients needed to combine and recouple quantum <angular momenta>. These coefficients connect alternative coupled bases, so their identities and numerical evaluation matter in <spectroscopy> and <scattering> calculations. He also coauthored the library's treatment of <Bessel functions>, linking reusable <special functions> with physical applications.<NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions>[Author profile; chapters 10 and 34, including chapter 34 author credit and definitions of coupling symbols]{ref}
