The idea for this book originated with the late Igor Vasil 'evich
Kurchatov. He suggested to the author the need for a comprehen sive
presentation of the fundamental ideas of plasma physics with out
c'omplicated mathematics. This task has not been an easy one. In
order to clarify the physical nature of plasma phenomena with out
recourse to intricate mathematical expressions it is neces sary to
think problems through very carefully. Thus, the book did not come
into being by inspiration, but required a considerable ef fort. The
aim of the book is to provide a beginning reader with an elementary
knowledge of plasma physics. The book is primar ily written for
engineers and technicians; however, we have also tried to make it
intelligible to the reader whose knowledge ofphys ics is at the
advanced-freshman level. To understand the book it is also
necessary to have a working knowledge of electricity and magnetism
of the kind available in present-: day programs in junior colleges.
This book is not intended for light reading. It is designed for the
reader for whom plasma physics will be a continuing in terest. We
have confidence that such a reader will want to broad en his
knowledge by consulting more specialized literature. Thus, we not
only include simple expressions but also special important terms."
