In lecture we derived the canonical partition function QN(V,N) for the idea gas using a factorization method. One can also directly compute it by taking the Laplace transform of the microcanonical partition function Q(E,V,N). Using our result from lecture, Q(E,V,N) = [3 (2TME)3/2 ]N [(3N/2) - 1]! N! (Δ/Ε) compute directly the Laplace transform, QN(T,V) = | dE A Q(E,V,N)e-BE and show that you get the same result for QN(T,V) as found in lecture using the factorization method.
