A simple way of approximating the canonical partition functions in statistical mechanics

We propose a simple pedagogical way of introducing the Euler-MacLaurin summation formula in an undergraduate course on statistical mechanics. The reason is that the students may feel more comfortable and confident if they are able to deduce the main equations. To this end we put forward two alternat...
