Relevant to diverse plasma applications such as controlled fusion, astrophysical
plasmas, solar physics, magnetospheric plasmas, and plasma thrusters, this
volume exploits new powerful mathematical techniques to develop deeper insights
into plasma behavior. After developing the basic plasma equations from first
principles, the book explores single particle motion with particular attention
to adiabatic invariance. The author then examines types of plasma waves and the
issue of Landau damping. Magnet ohydrodynamic equilibrium and stability are
tackled with emphasis on the topological concepts of magnetic helicity and
self-organization. Advanced topics follow.
