Publisher Description: Encompasses the Lectured Works of a Renowned Expert in the Field Plasma Physics: An Introduction Mathematically Rigorous, but Driven by Physics This work contains over 80 exercises--carefully selected for their pedagogical value--with fully worked out solutions available in a separate solutions manual for professors. The author provides an in-depth discussion of the various fluid theories typically used in plasma physics. The material presents a number of applications, and works through specific topics including basic plasma parameters, the theory of charged particle motion in inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields, plasma fluid theory, electromagnetic waves in cold plasmas, electromagnetic wave propagation through inhomogeneous plasmas, magnetohydrodynamical fluid theory, and kinetic theory.
