Kinetic Theory of Granular Gases provides an introduction to the rapidly developing theory of dissipative gas dynamics a theory which has mainly evolved over the last decade. The book is aimed at readers from the advanced undergraduate level upwards and leads on to the present state of research. Throughout, special emphasis is put on a microscopically consistent description of pairwise particle collisions which leads to an impactvelocitydependent coefficient of restitution. The description of the manyparticle system, based on the Boltzmann equation, starts with the derivation of the velocity distribution function, followed by the investigation of selfdiffusion and Brownian motion. Using hydrodynamical methods, transport processes and selforganized structure formation are studied.An appendix gives a brief introduction to eventdriven molecular dynamics. A second appendix describes a novel mathematical technique for derivation of kinetic properties, which allows for the application of computer algebra. The text is selfcontained, requiring no mathematical or physical knowledge beyond that of standard physics undergraduate level. The material is adequate for a onesemester course and contains chapter summaries as well as exercises with detailed solutions. The molecular dynamics and computeralgebra programs can be downloaded from a companion web page.
