Abstract

Here we have discussed on Fermi-Dirac statistics, in particular, on its brief historical progress, derivation, consequences, applications, etc. Importance of Fermi-Dirac statistics has been discussed even in connection with the current progresses in science. This article is aimed mainly for undergraduate and graduate students.
