The primary objective of this book
is to present and develop the fundamentals and principal applications of plasma
physics, with an emphasis on what is usually called high-temperature plasma
physics where the plasma is nearly fully ionized with nearly negligible effects
of neutral particles on the plasma behavior. Topics covered includes:
Fundamental Processes in Plasmas, various types of waves that occur in stable
plasmas, Plasma kinetic theory and its applications, The equilibrium and
stability properties of a plasma, nonlinear plasma theory, and to plasma
turbulence and the anomalous transport.

This note covers the following topics: plasma shielding, plasma
parameter, occurrence of plasmas, different descriptions of plasma, motion of
charged particles in fields, collisions in plasmas, fluid description of plasma,
electromagnetic waves in plasmas.

This is considered as a complete set of lecture notes for a
graduate plasma physics course. Topics covered includes: Charged Particle
Motion, Collisions, Plasma Fluid Theory, Waves in Cold Plasmas, Wave
Propagation Through Inhomogeneous Plasmas, Magnetohydrodynamic Fluids and
Waves in Warm Plasmas.
