More about the book
The book delves into the evolution of modern plasma physics, highlighting its origins in 1946 with I.D. Landau's analysis of linear waves in collision-free hot plasmas. It discusses the surge in research prompted by the controlled fusion field and the subsequent advancements in understanding both linear and nonlinear plasma phenomena, including turbulence. Aimed at senior and first-year graduate students, it addresses the challenges they face in grasping the complexities of kinetic theory and multidimensional integrals essential for studying plasma waves.
