The three basic methods for measuring axial rotation of stars had been suggested before the beginning of this century. These are (1) Modulation of starlight due to dark or bright areas on a rotating star; (2) Distortions in the radial velocity curves of eclipsing binary systems; and (3) Line profile analysis. Research in each of these areas is reviewed.
