Statistical mechanics may be naturally divided into two branches, one dealing with equilibrium systems, the other with nonequilibrium systems. The equilibrium properties of macroscopic systems are defined in principle by suitable averages in welldefined Gibbss ensembles. This provides a frame work for both qualitative understanding and quantitative approximations to equilibrium behaviour. Nonequilibrium phenomena are much less understood at the present time. A notable exception is offered by the case of dilute gases. Here a basic equation was established by Ludwig Boltzmann in 1872. The Boltzmann equation still forms the basis for the kinetic theory of gases and has proved fruitful not only for a study of the classical gases Boltzmann had in mind but also, properly generalized, for studying electron transport in solids and plasmas, neutron transport in nuclear reactors, phonon transport in superfluids, and radiative transfer in planetary and stellar atmospheres. Research in both the new fields and the old one has undergone a considerable advance in the last thirty years.

I use this book as a reference for my thesis, and it’s been incredibly useful. The applications of the Boltzmann equation are explained well, and the formulas are clear. Worth the investment for serious students!

Good resource, but a bit dense
I appreciate the depth of information offered in this book, but I found some parts a bit hard to get through. The applications are interesting, yet the math can be overwhelming at times. It’s useful if you’re committed to studying!

A Deep Dive into Complex Concepts
As a physics major, I found this book incredibly enlightening. The Boltzmann equation isn't easy to grasp, but this resource does a fantastic job breaking it down with real-world applications. Definitely a must-have for anyone delving into applied mathematics!

Great for applied sciences
This book has been a great resource for my research in applied mathematical sciences. The examples are relevant, and it provides insights that I've not found elsewhere. Highly useful for graduate level students!

Not for beginners!
I bought this for a class, but honestly, I think it’s too advanced for someone just starting out with the Boltzmann equation. If you don’t have a strong background, it might be a struggle. But it’s comprehensive if you’re prepared!
