This lecture covers the approximated Boltzmann equation, Fourier Law, Newton's stresses, and the emergence of classical laws from the microscopic picture of energy transport. It delves into the phase-space representation, scattering term, relaxation-time approximation, and the meaning of the approximations made in the Boltzmann equation.
