My goal in this paper is to review and summarize recent advances (since about 1982) in theoretical and computational techniques, and to illustrate the application of some of these developments in practical calculations. Important features of recent work are increased interest in polar molecules and complex polyatomics, the development of more realistic and complete representations of the interaction at short as well as long range, and important progress in theory and calculations for the treatment of nuclear dynamics in general, and vibrational excitation in particular.
