Abstract
The Boltzmann equation for a spacially uniform situation is derived by the method of expansion of the molecular distribution functions in powers of the concentration. These expansions are shown to imply that after a time which depends on the initial phase space distribution and for configurations in which the molecules are not too widely separated, all the distribution functions are functionals of the single-particle distribution. The single-particle distribution obeys an equation which is a generalization of the Boltzmann equation which includes the effects of triple and higher collisions. The triple collision term is given explicitly.
