This lecture introduces non-linear effects in plasmas, focusing on weak non-linear effects and resonant three wave interaction. The instructor explains the parametric instability in a system of three non-linearly coupled harmonic oscillators, emphasizing the frequency matching condition. The lecture covers pages 1-5 and 33-37 of the corresponding lecture notes.
