<p>Consider a dilute gas composed of a very large number of molecules moving in space according to the laws of classical mechanics, and colliding in pairs from time to time. Assume that we can disregard all external effects, such as gravity, so that the motion is completely specified by giving the intermolecular forces.</p>
