32. Such approximations pervade physics under various guises. For examples in celestial mechanics, see D. Hestenes, New Foundations for Classical Mechanics (Reidel, Dordrecht, Netherlands, 1986).In solid state physics a rudimentary discussion can be found in N. W. Ashcroft and N. D. Mermin, Solid State Physics (Saunders College Publishing, New York, 1976).
33. Quantum mechanical two-electron systems could support more complex shape-preserving wave packets based on classical orbits which do not share the same orbital plane.

45. Quantum mechanically, Pauli showed that (Formula presented). Classically, the same result relates the time-averaged radius vector to the time-averaged scaled Runge-Lenz vector. The classical result is used in the derivation of Eqs. (4).
