Background & Purpose：
The main purposes of this course are
(1) to construct the quantitative pointwise estimate of the linearized Boltzmann equation with hard sphere case and
(2) to give an understanding of the relation between the Boltzmann equation and the fluid-dynamic equations including their boundary conditions.
This is an advanced course that conducts research ideas and technical machinery for the investigation of Boltzmann equations. We aim to prepare graduate students for the research of the Boltzmann equations.
