Microcanonical Entropy, Partitions of a Natural Number into Squares and the Bose–Einstein Gas in a Box

From basic principles, we review some fundamentals of entropy calculations, some of which are implicit in the literature. We mainly deal with microcanonical ensembles to effectively compare the counting of states in continuous and discrete settings. When dealing with non-interacting elements, this e...
