Abstract :
The article describes ISNAP, a program for calculating atomic properties that uses an integrated symbolic and numerical approach for arbitrary excitations from closed-shell atoms. This program generates transition matrix elements and energy formulas up to third-order perturbation via the symbolic programming language Mathematica.
