This book has evolved from lectures devoted to applications of the Wentzel - Kramers  Brillouin- (WKB or quasi-classical) approximation and of the method of 1/N expansion for solving various problems in atomic� and nuclear physics. The intent of this book is to help students and investigators in t...
