Abstract
This set of lectures is not intended to be a comprehensive survey of the ionosphere. It is intended to lead the student with great speed to certain specialized research areas of possible interest to applied mathematicians. I apologise to the many ionospheric physicists (both experimental and theoretical) whose work is not mentioned here; the short list of references included at the end reflects current theory. Present day achievements have only been made possible through the patient experimental work and international collaboration of many scientists over decades.
