Dr. Linjin Zheng is a theoretical physicist for controlled thermonuclear fusion plasmas. He received his PhD from Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. He is currently working at The University of Texas at Austin, Institute for Fusion Studies. His major contributions with his colleagues include the reformulation of gyrokinetic theory, development of the theoretical interpretation for the so-called edge localized modes, invention of the free boundary ballooning representation, discoveries of second toroidal Alfvén egenmodes and current interchange tearing modes.

Summary:This book describes the ideal magnetohydrodynamic theory for magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Advanced topics are presented in attempting to fill the gap between the up-to-date research developments and plasma physics textbooks. Nevertheless, they are self-contained and trackable with the mathematical treatments detailed and underlying physics explained. Both analytical theories and numerical schemes are given. Besides the current research developments in this field, the future prospects are also discussed.
