Experiments with Bose-Einstein condensates of dilute atomic gases require temperatures as low as hundreds of nanokelvins but obviously cannot be performed at zero absolute temperature. So the approximate theory of such a gas at nonzero temperatures is needed. In this topical review we describe a classical field approximation which satisfies this need. As modes of light, also modes of atomic field may be treated as classical waves, provided they contain sufficiently many quanta. We present a detailed description of the classical field approximation stressing the significant role of the observation process as the necessary interface between our calculations and measurements. We also discuss in detail the determination of temperature in our approach and stress its limitations. We also review several applications of the classical field approximation to dynamical processes involving atomic condensates.
