Exposition of Derivation of Boltzmann Equation (and More!)
Chapter 2 of this paper has a nice exposition of the derivation of the Boltzmann equation from the Liouville equation for hard spheres. Chapter 1 has a discussion of the Boltzmann-Grad limit, which we also discussed in lectures. This article looks really nice!
