Does this take into account that T=0? Sorry... I'm having a little trouble wrapping my head around this

Does ε=uB? Becuase if that is so, I can set uB=( hbar ∏^2 / (2mL^2)) (N/2)^2 then solve for N and that would give me the number density I am looking for?

Yes, I understand it now. The more particles that are present in a given system, the higher the Fermi energy will be and vice versa. Now that we have the number density equation, how does the chemical potential and temperature come into play?

The number of fermions in the system must be large enough so that adding one more fermion to the system has negligible effect on μ. Since the F–D distribution was derived using the Pauli exclusion principle, which allows at most one electron to occupy each possible state, a result is that 0<ni<1...
