The primary objective of these lecture notes is to present the
basic theories and analytical methods of plasma physics and to
provide the recent status of fusion research for graduate and
advanced undergraduate students. I also hope that this text will be
a useful reference for scientists and engineers working in the
relevant ?elds. Chapters 1-4 describe the fundamentals of plasma
physics. The basic concept of the plasma and its characteristics
are explained in Chaps.1 and 2. The orbits of ions and electrons
are described in several magnetic ?eld con?gurations in Chap.3,
while Chap.4 formulates the Boltzmann equation for the velocity
space distribution function, which is the basic equation of plasma
physics. Chapters 5-9 describe plasmas as magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)
?uids. The MHD equation of motion (Chap.5), equilibrium (Chap.6)
and plasma transport (Chap.7) are described by the ?uid model.
Chapter 8 discusses problems of MHD instabilities, i.e., whether a
small perturbation will grow to disrupt the plasma or damp to a
stable state. Chapter 9 describes resistive instabilities of
plasmas with ?nite electrical resistivity. In Chaps.10-13, plasmas
are treated by kinetic theory. The medium in which waves and
perturbations propagate is generally inhomogeneous and anisotropic.
It may absorb or even amplify the waves and perturbations. The cold
plasma model described in Chap.10 is applicable when the thermal -
