Could you please explain your above statement in some more detail ? I did not really get what you meant .

Say , for example , we consider the problem of placing 2 balls in 2 bins . If we treat the balls as identical , we have 3 ways , if not , we have 4 ways . Please point out if I am making some mistake in my interpretation .

In the Boltzmann entropy formula , the number of microstates is calculated according to Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics , i.e. , W = n!/Πki! , Σki = n . Why cannot we use some other method , such as Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics ?

Sorry for the vague wording of my question . Thanks for all your suggestions though . A prof. in the high energy physics dept. of my university gave me the same advice that Orodruin did .

Which book among Bernard Schutz , Stephani and d'Inverno is the best for an introductory level approach to GR ? I have read some tensor analysis from d'Inverno and have not found its treatment rigorous enough .
