Five different ab initio methods of calculating force constants are considered. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are brought out by their application to a calculation of the force constant of the hydrogen molecule using a basis set of Gaussian functions. Particular attention is drawn to both the accuracy and time involved in the different methods.
