Although spherically symmetric stellar models have been very successful in accounting for the major observed properties of stars, it has long been recognized that many detailed properties depend on departures from spherical symmetry. The present paper reviews the effects of rotation and magnetism as perturbing agents in single stars. The observational evidence for stellar rotation and magnetism is surveyed, and the effects of these perturbations on stellar structure and stability are considered. The problem of the angular momentum distribution of rotating stars is discussed, and the probable role of magnetic fields in accounting for angular momentum loss in star formation is considered. Hydrodynamic problems related to the internal motions driven by stellar rotation are examined, and the influence of rotation on stellar pre-main-sequence and post-main-sequence evolution is discussed. Theoretical aspects of the origin of stellar magnetic fields, magnetic braking and oscillations are also considered.
