i am completely lost. there is an integral in my textbook in fermi dirac statistics whose result is written directly and am not able to understand . it is
∫⌽(u) du /exp.((u-uf)/kt) + 1 from 0 to ∞
expanded by tayor's series to give

∫⌽(u) du (from 0 to uf) +∏²/6 (kT)² [⌽'(u)] |at u=uf + 7∏⁴/360 (kT)⁴ [⌽''(u)] |at u=uf +...

where uf is such that function of u is zero for u greater than uf.
please reply as soon as possible. thanks.

It's very hard to read the formulae. Please use LaTeX.
 
hope this could help

please reply. the answer on expansion by taylor series should be

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
