Abstract
The moduli space of charge k SU(2) BPS monopoles is diffeomorphic to the mo duli space of degree k rational maps between Riemann spheres. In this note we describe a numerical algorithm to compute the monopole fields and energy density from the rational map. The results for some symmetric examples are presented.
