Abstract
This chapter reviews the techniques of the grand canonical ensemble to give an exact treatment for both Bose and Fermi particles. It looks at the results of Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics for the average number of particles in sufficiently high temperatures and in a single-particle state for both fermions and bosons. It also examines the exclusion principle in Fermi particles, which means that there cannot be two particles in the same single-particle state, while there is no such restriction for Bose particles. The chapter clarifies that the resulting formulae for the average number of particles in a single-particle state are different at low temperatures. It describes Fermi particles at low temperatures that have a large kinetic energy, an energy which can be much larger than the interaction between particles.
