This lecture covers the approximation treatments of the Boltzmann Equation, including diffusion approximation with diffusion transmission boundary conditions for photons, phonons, and electrons. It also discusses ballistic-diffuse treatments for phonon transport and electron transport across an interface. The lecture explores the challenges in solving the Boltzmann Equation and the development of approximate treatments to address them.
