Abstract: Some properties of the Boltzmann equation (BE) for a spatially uniform system of Maxwellian molecules are considered, including the explicit evaluation of the energy-space transition probability P(y, z; x), the evaluation of the constants λn and μn,i which enter in the moment equations, the form of the energy BE, the linearization of the moment equations, and a symmetry property of the BE itself.
