This chapter discusses how the Bethe ansatz solution of the one-dimensional Bose gas with repulsive δ-function interaction is extended to finite temperatures, the thermody- namic Bethe ansatz. The excitations of this system consist of particle and hole excitations, which can be described by the corresponding densities of Bethe ansatz roots. It shows how these Bethe ansatz root densities are used to define an appropriate expression for the entropy of the system of Bose particles, which is the main ingredient for the extension of the Bethe ansatz method to finite temperature.
