A numerical solution is developed for the time-dependent kinetic equation describing the evolution of arbitrary distributions of electrons injected into a magnetized plasma. Included in the equation are pitch-angle scattering and energy loss because of Coulomb collisions and magnetic mirroring. The numerical code can be easily modified to include other scattering or radiation terms. The numerical results are shown to agree well with known analytic solutions for various simplified configurations such as homogeneous injection in a homogeneous plasma, electron beams moving with small pitch angle with respect to the magnetic field, and injection into a magnetic trap.
