For those studying plasma instabilities, a highly recommended resource is Chen's "Introduction to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion," which is considered a foundational text. Many plasma physics textbooks cover plasma instabilities, often integrating discussions on plasma waves. It's essential to first grasp the basic theory and calculations relevant to fluid and kinetic models before delving into specialized literature on instabilities. Engaging with various texts will enhance understanding and provide a comprehensive view of the subject.

I am a plasma physicist in training and I am looking for book recommendations for plasma instabilities. If there is one book that I should buy, what is it? What is the bible for plasma instabilities?

Most plasma physics texts - either general or those emphasizing plasma waves - include quite a bit of discussion on plasma instabilities. Which books are have you looked at or studied from?

Once you are familiar with the basic theory and types of calculations needed to investigate instabilities in fluid and kinetic models then you are ready for the literature.
 

Thread 'Complex analysis or calculus?'

Im currently reading mathematics for physicists by Philippe Dennery and André Krzywicki, and I’m understanding most concepts however I think it would be better for me to get a book on complex analysis or calculus to better understand it so I’m not left looking at an equation for an hour trying to figure out what it means. So here comes the split, do I get a complex analysis book? Or a calculus book? I might be able to Borrow a calculus textbook from my math teacher study that for a bit and...
