No less than 99.9% of visible matter in our universe is in the collisionless plasm state. Hence, it is essential for understanding of our universe to study collisionless space plasma. This paper introduces various basic theories with different approximations for space plasma. Various numerical methods for simulating space plasma with these basic equations are also described briefly.
