Problem 21P
In calculating the heat capacity of a degenerate Fermi gas in Section 7.3, we needed the integral
To derive this result, first show that the integrand is an even function, so it suffices to integrate from 0 to ∞ and then multiply by 2. Then integrate by parts to relate this integral to the one in equation B.35.
