The relativistic Boltzmann equation: Theory and applications (Q699450)

The aim of this book is to present the theory and applications of the relativistic Boltzmann equation in a self-contained manner, even for those who have no familiarity with special and general relativity. Though an attempt is made to present the basic concepts in a complete fashion, the style of presentation is chosen to be appealing to readers who want to understand how kinetic theory is used for explicit calculation. The book is helpful as a textbook and as a reference book for physicists, astrophysicists and applied mathematicians, who are interested in the theory and applications of relativistic Boltzmann equation.
