Kinetic Theory: Classical, Quantum, and Relativistic Descriptions (Graduate Texts in Contemporary Physics)

I have the first edition published in 1990. The book is clearer and much easier to read than the author's previous introduction to the theory of kinetic equations. Calculus, linear algebra, and knowledge of differential equations are prerequisites. The familiarity of the calculus of variation and vector/tensor calculus would be very helpful.

It contains a lot of errata which were absent in the previous editions which in turn makes it untrustworthy...

As an engineer interested in kinetic theory, I found this book to be one of the best text book on the subject. As compared to Chapman-Cowling book, this book is pleasent to read and notations are easy to understand.
