In this video, we'll dig deep into the mathematics underlying entropy, and see how we can calculate it for an ensemble of a vast number of particles.  This is a more mathematically sophisticated view of entropy than we saw in earlier videos, and it also shows how we can manipulate large numbers using the misleadingly named Stirling's Approximation (first discovered by Abraham de Moivre).
