This lecture delves into the linearized Boltzmann equation and its applications in studying transport coefficients. The content covers the systematic approximation of transport coefficients, impact parameters of collisions, and the detailed solution for a dilute gas system. It explores the notation of the textbook, collision cross-sections, and the near-equilibrium assumptions. The discussion extends to the linearized Boltzmann equation for normal and tracer particles in the context of statistical mechanics.
