Theoretical Kaleidoscope
According to Newton, "In studies of science, examples are more useful than rules." With Theoretical Kaleidoscope, by Iosif Khriplovich, many concrete problems in classical mechanics, classical electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and relativistic qua

ecture Notes in Physics The series Lecture Notes in Physics (LNP), founded in 1969, reports new developments in physics research and teaching – quickly and informally, but with a high quality and the explicit aim to summarize and communicate current knowledge in an accessible way. Books published in this series are conceived as bridging material between advanced graduate textbooks and the forefront of research to serve the following purposes:
• to be a compact and modern up-to-date source of reference on a well-defined topic; • to serve as an accessible introduction to the field to postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers from related areas; • to be a source of advanced teaching material for specialized seminars, courses and schools. Both monographs and multi-author volumes will be considered for publication. Edited volumes should, however, consist of a very limited number of contributions only. Proceedings will not be considered for LNP. Volumes published in LNP are disseminated both in print and in electronic formats, the electronic archive is available at springerlink.com. The series content is indexed, abstracted and referenced by many abstracting and information services, bibliographic networks, subscription agencies, library networks, and consortia. Proposals should be sent to a member of the Editorial Board, or a Springer editor working in the Physics Editorial Department.

Preface
This book is not a systematic course of theoretical physics, it contains only selected problems and topics of this remarkable science. One cannot but recall here the words of I. Newton (in his “Universal Arithmetic”): “In learning the Science, Examples are of more use than Precepts.” The book is based on lectures on additional chapters of theoretical physics given by me in various years at the Department of Physics,
