The author presents general information on Coulomb sliding friction endowed with historical remarks. Peculiarities of differential equations are discussed which describe the motion of mechanical systems with Coulomb law. The classical P.~Painleve paradoxes are described and mathematical ideas are given how to avoid them. The article is based on a lecture given by the author for secondary school teachers in the framework of the ``International Soros Science Educational Program and is aimed at presenting contemporary developments in mathematics on an elementary level understandable for secondary school teachers and pupils.
