Method of Moments
Sec. 5.2
This famous equation describes how an electron moves in 6-D phase space. Consider 2-D (x and kx) and some force Fx Electron moves a distance vxt in time t Electron changes momentum according to i.e., transport between position states is taken to be classical Transport between momentum states can be classical and quantum mechanical (scattering)

Method of moments
Multiply each term by Cvn and integrate over k. For example, zeroth order moment:
This gives
Why zero for R and G? What is this well-known equation? How do we find Je in order to evaluate n ?
