Clebsch-Gordan coefficients
The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are defined by

They are used to integrate products of three spherical harmonics (for example the addition of angular momenta). The Clebsch-Gordan coefficients are sometimes expressed using the related Racah V-coefficients, (See also the Racah W-coefficients, sometimes simply called the Racah coefficients).
