There is a rich zoo of waves that can propagate in plasmas over a wide range of conditions. These waves can be electromagnetic or electrostatic, as well as linear and nonlinear. Waves can be driven in plasmas by sources of free energy as instabilities, or driven for the purpose of heating, enhancing confinement, or diagnosing plasmas, to name a few. For these reasons, waves are an important topic in plasma physics. This presentation will introduce some of the key concept for waves in plasmas.
