The control of magnetic nonlinear nanostructures using magnetic fields and electric current is of special interest for applications in spintronics. A prospective candidate for this program is the vortex state nanodot, which provides high density storage and high speed magnetic random access memory. I will present an overview of statics and dynamics of magnetic vortices in nanomagnets. In particular, I describe the structure of vortices and effects of internal modes in connection with the vortex dynamics. The special interest will be concentrated on the problem of the vortex dynamics under the influence of ac magnetic fields and spin-polarized electrical currents. It will be shown that the mechanism of core magnetization switching is quite general. It includes a creation of an intermediate vortex-vortex-antivortex state with subsequent annihilation of the original vortex and new-born antivortex. A simple analytical picture of such phenomena is proposed.
