Ursell function

The Ursell function is a mathematical tool which is used to determine the total energy of a system made up of many small particles. It takes two numbers as inputs, the number of particles and the size of the particles. It then calculates the total energy of the system. This can be useful when we want to understand how much energy is present in something that is made up of lots of small parts.
