Lecture notes on plasma physics

The lectures cover the following topics in plasma physics: electrostatic plasma oscillations as described by the linearized Vlasov equation; properties of dielectric functions; the fluctuation dissipation theorem; 'dressed-particle' approach to plasma fluctuations; electron waves in a strongly magnetized plasma; propagation of ion acoustic density perturbations as described by the linearized ion Vlasov equation assuming Boltzmann distributed electrons; nonlinear waves.
