Abstract
Methods of the numerical solution of equations that describe the resonant interaction of polarized radiation with alkali atoms are presented. Some procedures of converting these equations to a form reducing the calculation time are given. Typical simplifying assumptions used in solving these equations are discussed. Based on comparisons of magnetic-optical resonances for Rb87 with various simplifying assumptions, a conclusion is made on applicability of these approximations and possible inherent errors
