A course of 5 weeks. Each week consists of three 1.5 hr lecture.
The goal of the course is to understand:
(a) the equations of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD),
(b) waves and instabilities,

(d) fundamental aspects of turbulence and convection,
(e) dynamo theory, and
(f) numerical techniques for MHD and turbulence.
