Thank you for your reply.

Just to be clear on the details, I am not thinking of the particles as
point masses and I am considering them to be hard sphere particles with
no potential of interaction. I am more interested in the derivation of
the collision frequencies etc. One of the reasons I am interested in a
good rigorous derivation is because I know for a fact that the typical
"cylinder" derivation you learn in P Chem 1 is not really correct : it
assumes that in the cylinder the particle traces out, the other
particles are stationary, which is obviously not true. Since I am not
sure if there are other such assumptions I would need to question, I
want to see the complete derivation.

Sincerely,

Matthew T. Brenneman

The Jeans suggestion is good: I'lll check it out.
