This book grew out of lecture notes for an undergraduate course in plasma physics that has been offered for a number of years at UCLA. With the current increase in interest in controlled fusion and the wide spread use of plasma physics in space research and relativistic as trophysics, it makes sense for the study of plasmas to become a part of an undergraduate student's basic experience, along with subjects like thermodynamics or quantum mechanics. Although the primary purpose of this book was to fulfill a need for a text that seniors or juniors can really understand, I hope it can also serve as a painless way for scientists in other fields-solid state or laser physics, for instance to become acquainted with plasmas. Two guiding principles were followed: Do not leave algebraic steps as an exercise for the reader, and do not let the algebra obscure the physics. The extent to which these opposing aims could be met is largely due to the treatment of a plasma as two interpenetrating fluids. The two-fluid picture is both easier to understand and more accurate than the single-fluid approach, at least for low-density plasma phe nomena.

Minor abrasion appears on the front flyleaf, and there is toning to the interior and along the text block edges. The interior pages are clean and unmarked.Introduction to Plasma Physics by Francis F. Chen is based on lecture material developed for an undergraduate course at UCLA. With the growing importance of plasma physics in fusion energy, space research, and astrophysics, this book aims to make the subject accessible to upper-level undergraduates and professionals in related fields. Chen emphasizes clarity by minimizing skipped algebraic steps and focusing on physical understanding. The two-fluid model, which treats plasmas as interpenetrating fluids, serves as the book's foundation, offering a conceptually approachable and physically accurate perspective on low-density plasma phenomena.The book will be carefully packaged for shipment using bubble wrap and sturdy cardboard to protect it from the elements.
