Properties of the Partition Function.

After a course on Statistical Mechanics... including thermodynamics, phase transitions, statistics, ensembles (micro-canonical, canonical and grand-canonical), Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein statistics, I should give an exposition on the properties of the Partition Function.

Reference:

Kerson Huang. Statistical Mechanics. Chapter 9.

Now, reading this chapter I could understand most of the different things we're dealing on though the course.
