Modern plasma physics, encompassing wave-particle interactions and
collec tive phenomena characteristic of the collision-free nature
of hot plasmas, was founded in 1946 when 1. D. Landau published his
analysis of linear (small amplitude) waves in such plasmas. It was
not until some ten to twenty years later, however, with impetus
from the then rapidly developing controlled fusion field, that
sufficient attention was devoted, in both theoretical and
experimental research, to elucidate the importance and
ramifications of Landau's original work. Since then, with advances
in laboratory, fusion, space, and astrophysical plasma research, we
have witnessed important devel opments toward the understanding of
a variety of linear as well as nonlinear plasma phenomena,
including plasma turbulence. Today, plasma physics stands as a
well-developed discipline containing a unified body of powerful
theoretical and experimental techniques and including a wide range
of appli cations. As such, it is now frequently introduced in
university physics and engineering curricula at the senior and
first-year-graduate levels. A necessary prerequisite for all of
modern plasma studies is the under standing oflinear waves in a
temporally and spatially dispersive medium such as a plasma,
including the kinetic (Landau) theory description of such waves.
Teaching experience has usually shown that students (seniors and
first-year graduates), when first exposed to the kinetic theory of
plasma waves, have difficulties in dealing with the required
sophistication in multidimensional complex variable (singular)
integrals and transforms."
