Observational and Theoretical Issues of Interacting Binaries was
the topic of the 22nd Advanced Course of the Swiss Society for
Astrophysics and Astronomy. It was the first time that binary
systems were the center of attention of our course. The established
concept and organisation of the Advanced Course has been retained:
three scientists, all acknowledged experts in their respective
fields, were each invited to give nine one-hour lectures within the
period of a week. The Advanced Course took place from April 6 to
11, 1992, at Les Diablerets, a charming resort in the Swiss alps.
The high level of the lectures, the international background of the
65 participants, including many young students, and the beauty of
the surroundings all contributed to the success of the course. The
lecture notes of this course, the 22nd in our series, are also the
third to be published by Springer-Verlag. Well over half of all
stars seem to exist in binary systems. The study of binary
evolution is therefore essential for our understanding of stellar
evolution in general. The evolution of interacting binaries
contains in itself many of the problems met in other fields of
modern astrophysics. This is very apparent in these lecture notes.
