ABSTRACT: We study the classical dynamics of binary stars when there is an interchange of mass between them. Assuming that one of
the stars is more massive than others, the dynamics of the lighter one is analyzed as a function of its time
depending mass variation. Within our approximations and models for mass
transference, we obtain a general result which establishes that if the lightest
star looses mass, its period increases. If the lightest star wins mass, its period decreases.
