This lecture delves into the kinetic theory, focusing on the evolution of the distribution function f(x, v, t) describing the number of particles in phase space. It covers topics such as macroscopic and microscopic scales, continuum descriptions, statistical techniques, and examples like the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution and monoenergetic beams.
