Reading Course on 'Solar Magneto-hydrodynamics' Book of Eric Priest (1 credit)
Prof. M. Opher

This will be a reading course on E. Priest Book; deriving the equations and going through teh major concepts
in MHD applied to Space Physics

Spring 2006

Monday's 11:00-12:00

January 23 - Chapter 1 (exceptionally at 3:00-4:00pm)
