The Boltzmann equation describes the time evolution of the particle density of a collisional rarefied gas in the phase space. In this series of lectures we will outline the derivation of the Boltzmann kinetic equation from a microscopic system of hard spheres for arbitrarily long times. This is based on the recent work of Deng, Hani and Ma (https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.07818).
