# M4: Spherical Harmonics

Represented in a system of spherical coordinates, Laplace's spherical harmonics $$Y_l^m$$ are a specific set of spherical harmonics that forms an orthogonal system. Spherical harmonics are important in many theoretical and practical applications, particularly in the computation of atomic orbital electron configurations
