In,1872, Boltzmann published a paper which for the first time
provided a precise mathematical basis for a discussion of the
approach to equilibrium. The paper dealt with the approach to
equilibrium of a dilute gas and was based on an equation - the
Boltzmann equation, as we call it now - for the velocity
distribution function of such ~ gas. The Boltzmann equation still
forms the basis of the kinetic theory of gases and has proved
fruitful not only for the classical gases Boltzmann had in mind,
but als- if properly generalized - for the electron gas in a solid
and the excitation gas in a superfluid. Therefore it was felt by
many of us that the Boltzmann equation was of sufficient interest,
even today, to warrant a meeting, in which a review of its present
status would be undertaken. Since Boltzmann had spent a good part
of his life in Vienna, this city seemed to be a natural setting for
such a meeting. The first day was devoted to historical lectures,
since it was generally felt that apart from their general interest,
they would furnish a good introduction to the subsequent scientific
sessions. We are very much indebted to Dr. D.
