Oscillation modes of rapidly rotating stars have not yet been calculated with precision, rotational effects being generally approximated by perturbation methods. We developed a mathematical formalism and a numerical method which fully account for the deformation of the star by the centrifugal force. The method has been first tested in the case of Maclaurin spheroids and then applied to uniformly rotating polytropic stars.
