Abstract: Properties of the Coulomb collision operator that have been found useful in plasma kinetic theory and plasma transport theory are gathered and reviewed, with derivations. The use of velocity-space coordinates appropriate to a magnetized (drift-kinetic) plasma is emphasized. Little of the material is new, although the derivations may be more detailed than is customary.
