Abstract
We consider a low density gas and its description by means of the Boltzmann equation. This topic will be covered at considerable detail, simply because (at least at present) it is one of the most beautiful examples for the emergence of an autonomous large scale dynamics which can be studied with mathematical rigor and at great depth.
