I just see equations for momentum. I don't see any equations where you've looked at the kinetic energy, or potential energy either for that matter. Is there something I've missed in the description that allows you to ignore the energy?

It are indeed equations for momentum. Variation of momentum is in fact also variation of kinetic energy. There is no variation of potential energy immediately after impact, because positions are the same. There is only a jump in velocities, immediately after impact.
