Description of  Kinetic Equations: Volume 1: Boltzmann Equation, Maxwell Models, and Hydrodynamics beyond NavierStokes (Issn, 5)

p The series is devoted to the publication of high-level monographs and specialized graduate texts which cover the whole spectrum of applied mathematics, including its numerical aspects. The focus of the series is on the interplay between mathematical and numerical analysis, and also on its applications to mathematical models in the physical and life sciences. /p p The aim of the series is to be an active forum for the dissemination of up-to-date information in the form of authoritative works that will serve the applied mathematics community as the basis for further research. /p p strong Editorial Board /strong /p p Rmi Abgrall, Universitt Zrich, Switzerland br Jos Antonio Carrillo de la Plata, University of Oxford, UK br Jean-Michel Coron, Universit Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris, France br Athanassios S.
