Abstract
There are numerous topics regarding electron\primes dynamics, which can and probably should be discussed as background to the investigation of distributed electron-wave interaction. Among these, a fraction will be presented here with emphasis on basic concepts that are of relevance to the principles to be elaborated in the next chapters. All topics considered throughout the text rely on classical mechanics (Sect. 3.1) and without exception they are consistent with the special theory of relativity (Sect. 3.2), therefore the fundamentals of these two theories are summarized.
