Abstract:	A new procedure for evaluating the basic quantities connected with the Mie theory of scattering by a sphere is presented. Some independent numerical techniques are developed to enable one to achieve the desired accuracy. The method is quite general in the sense that it works for arbitrary but finite values of real, pure imaginary or complex indices of refraction and the size-to-wavelength paramenter. Sample calculations are given for a range of size-to-wavelength parameter, for a variety of indices of refraction. The computer program is given in the Appendix.
