Scientific paper

The evolution of close binaries is described. The formation of such a binary from a cloud of gas, the evolution of the primary and the effects on it of the secondary's gravity, and the evolution of the secondary and its interaction with the primary are considered. The peculiarities of the gravitational environment in a binary system are addressed. Stars that exemplify each stage in the evolution of a close binary are mentioned.
