Summary (Three kinds of statistics in physics). A simplified derivation is given of the energy‐distribution of Maxwell‐Boltzmann, Bose‐Einstein and Fermi‐Dirac. The importance and the application of these laws are considered, and the fundamental hypotheses, on which they are based are mentioned. It is shown that only one sort of statistics is used, but that the statistical method is adapted in each case to the special physical properties of the particles, to which this method is applied.
