Consider a closed system with N noninteracting gaseous particles. Let the single particle nondegenerate energy levels be iЄ, i = 0,1,2,........ Evaluate the canonical partition function if the particles are (a) fermions (b) bosons. You are not expected to reach an answer here. This question is to illustrate the difficulty of using canonical ensembles.
