Abstract
By ideal gas we mean a system of many like particles with a mutual interaction energy so small that it can be disregarded. First we treat the simplest case, namely, a single atom in a cubic box of length l and volume V = l 3. We will discuss the classical and the quantum theoretical partition functions.
