Hello,
I have been trying to follow the start of these lecture notes I found online and I have having trouble understanding what is happening between two steps.
The notes I am looking at are located:
http://pillowlab.cps.utexas.edu/teaching/CompNeuro10/slides/slides16_EntropyMethods.pdf [Broken]
On the bottom of slide 4 they get p_j = e^{1-λ} which is clear to me.
The next line says = 1/N.
I am having trouble understanding how they get to 1/N, from my understanding the N should represent the number of micro states however I don't understand how they jump from e^{1-λ} to 1/N.
Would anyone be able to clarify this for me?
Thank you,
