Overview

A basic introduction to plasma equilibrium, particle orbits, transport and those ideal and resistive magnetohydrodynamic instabilities which dominate the behaviour of toroidal magnetically confined plasmas, and to develop the mathematical methods necessary for their theoretical analysis. The book deals primarily with the consequences of ideal and resistive magnetohydrodynamics.
