2.4 Large Systems (Thermal Physics) (Schroeder)
What happens when we use numbers so large that calculating the factorial is impossible? In this section, I cover some behaviors of large numbers as well as very large numbers, dive a little bit into Stirling's Approximation, and then calculate the behavior of Einstein solids. From this, we determine that it is extremely unlikely that anything but the most common case will be observed.
