Focusing on wave phenomena in plasmas, this text provides the essential material for an introductory course on plasma physics as well as the basis for a more advanced course on kinetic theory. It covers fundamental kinetic equations, such as the Klimontovich and Liouville equations, before using Fourier and Laplace transforms to solve the Lenard-Balescu equation. The author compares Vlasov and Maxwell models for collisional corrections to Landau damping and investigates the effects of collisions on various transport coefficients. With mathematical functions and collision integrals in the appendices, the text includes many problems, along with a solution manual for qualifying instructors.
