| The notation "$\langle\hat N\rangle$" is chosen for the function because we can also introduce the sequence of observables $\hat N$ defined to give us the particle number of each canonical ensemble, i.e. $\hat N_N=N$, and then the above coincides with the proper [[grand canonical expectation value]] of $\hat N$. Notice that this $\hat N$ is sometimes denoted by $N$, which can get a little confusing. | The notation "$\langle\hat N\rangle$" is chosen for the function because we can also introduce the sequence of observables $\hat N$ defined to give us the particle number of each canonical ensemble, i.e. $\hat N_N=N$, and then the above coincides with the proper [[grand canonical expectation value]] of $\hat N$.
