Offers information on basic formulas and categorizes the possible types of waves and their interactions. This book includes modern treatments of electron cyclotron emission, collisions, Landau damping, quasilinear and non-linear wave theory, and tunneling equations. It deals with the effects of boundaries, inhomogeneities, and non-linear effects.

Focusing on wave phenomena in plasmas, this text provides material for an introductory course on plasma physics and the basis for advanced course on kinetic theory. It covers fundamental kinetic equations, the Lenard-Balescu equation, and Vlasov-Maxwell equations as well as investigates the effects of collisions on various transport coefficients.
