Mean Field Studies of Exotic Nuclei}
  {Full three dimensional static and dynamic mean field calculations using collocation basis splines with a Skyrme type Hamiltonian are described. This program is developed to address the difficult theoretical challenges offered by exotic nuclei. Ground state and deformation properties are calculated using static Hartree-Fock, Hartree-Fock+BCS and constrained Hartree-Fock models. Collective properties, such as reaction rates and resonances, are described using a new alternate method for evaluating linear response theory, which is constructed directly on top of the static calculation. This provides a consistent description of the ground state, deformation and collective nuclear properties. Sample results are presented for the giant multiple resonances of $^{16}$O. }
