The aim of this work is to describe a method of numerical solution of the stationary Schrödinger equation based on the integral equation that is identical to the Schrödinger equation. The method considered here allows one to find the eigenvalues and eigensolutions for quantum-mechanical problems of different dimensionality. The method is tested by solving problems for one-dimensional and two-dimensional quantum oscillators, and results of these tests are presented. Satisfactory agreement of the results obtained using this numerical method with well-known analytical solutions is demonstrated.
