[edit] Confusion

There is a confusion, very common, between Liouville and Boltzman. The Liouville Equation is a N-particle equation whereas the Boltzmann Equation is a 1-Particle Equation. The Boltzman Equation is an approximation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lionel sittler (talk • contribs) 13:28, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Technical

This page has no real description of the equation, lacks a good explanation of how it is used, and is otherwise in need of improvement. FrozenPurpleCube 16:19, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

There is no explanation of how the collision term is obtained as an integration of distributions over momentum space. Ntveem 20:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
