To know the physical justification of the basic models used to describe plasma and to be able to theoretically analyze the main plasma phenomena. To study the properties and behavior of plasma in electromagnetic fields, to analyze the types of waves in plasma. To consider the macroscopic and kinetic behavior of a partially or fully ionized continuous medium. The emphasis is on plasma processes that occur in the atmospheres of stars, the interstellar and interplanetary medium. To learn to identify characteristic patterns and analyze the results obtained. To gain experience in searching, processing and analyzing information from various sources, including electronic resources, and the ability of students to abstract thinking, analysis and synthesis of material from various disciplines.
