Polytropes, Virial theorem, evolutionary time scales, degrees of freedom, radiative transport, molecular weight, degeneracy, Jeans mass, and Eddington luminosity are basic ingredients to describe the physics of stars. In the present paper they will be presented in details as long with their role in the stellar evolution.
