This lecture covers the Collisionless Boltzmann Equation, Jeans theorems, equilibria of collisionless systems, and connections between barotropic fluids and ergodic stellar systems. It explains the distribution function, velocity dispersions, and various coordinates systems used in the study of collisionless systems.
