Abstract
A method is developed which allows the evaluation of the closed formal expressions for electrical conductivity which have recently been developed by several authors. The case of a random set of scatterers is treated in detail and the formal solution made to yield directly the solution to the Boltzmann equation. A brief mention of the application of this method to liquids and alloys is made.Keywords
