Abstract
Here we collect classical calculations lying in the ground of the ‘old quantum mechanics’: the Kepler problem, the Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization, electromagnetic plane waves, the Lorentz theory of polarization and dispersion, the normal Zeeman effect, diamagnetism and paramagnetism, and the Landé factor. Finally, we present the Heisenberg quantization of harmonic oscillator.
