Propagation of Chaos and Effective Equations in Kinetic Theory: a Brief   Survey
  We review some historical highlights leading to the modern perspective on the concept of chaos from the point of view of the kinetic theory. We focus in particular on the role played by the propagation of chaos in the mathematical derivation of effective equations.
