2.5 The Ideal Gas (Thermal Physics) (Schroeder)
Now that we are used to large numbers, let's try to calculate the multiplicity of an ideal gas. In order to do so, we'll need to rely a little bit on Quantum Mechanics as well as calculate the surface area of a hypersphere. The end result points us to the same conclusion: The most likely case is extremely likely, and deviations are absolutely tiny.
