Den første forelesningen blir på mandag, 28. September 

Til den første forelesningen, vennligst repetere elektro-magnetism, elektromagnetiske krefter, Maxwells lover, og vektor relasjoner. Plasma fysikk er basert på disse, og det er nødvendig og ha en god kunnskap om disse tema.

Det er viktig at dere kommer på mandag 28. Sept. Vi skal da også snakke om  oppbygning av kurset, arbeidsformer, krav til eksamen osv.

The first lecture will be on Monday 28. September. 

Before the first lecture, please repeat the basics of electro-magnetism, electromagnetic forces, Maxwell equations, and vector relations. The course is building on those, and it is necessary to have a good knowledge about this topics.

It is important that you come on Monday 28. Sept. We will then discuss the details of the course, exercises, exam, etc.

Vi skal bruke følgende bøker / We will use the following books:

Main textbook for the pensum: H. L. Pécseli, Waves and Oscillations in Plasmas,  CRC Press (Boca Raton 2013)

Additional book(s): F. F. Chen, Introduction to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, Plenum Press (New York 1984) other introductory books to plasma physics.

Det er ikke nødvendig å kjøpe disse bøkene, og det vil være nok med kursnotater, men det kan være lurt å ha disse bøkene for selvstudium.
