We present a very brief description of the Hartree-Fock method in nuclear
structure physics, discuss the numerical methods used to solve the
self-consistent equations, and analyze the precision and convergence properties
of solutions. As an application we present results pertaining to quadrupole
moments and single-particle quadrupole polarizations in superdeformed nuclei
with A~60.Comment: 11 pages, 4 EPS figures included, uses sprocl.sty and epsf.sty.
