Preferred Abstract (Original): 

The shifted 1/N expansion method is used to solve the effective-mass Hamiltonian for an interacting electron-hole pair in a quantum dot. The ground-state energy of an exciton parabolically confined in a quantum dot as a function of quantum dot size is obtained. Comparison shows our results are in excellent agreement with those of Que.
