The Two-Dimensional Ising Model It does not simply repeat"Of all the systems in statistical mechanics on which exact calculations have been performed," declare the authors of this text, "the two dimensional Ising model is not only the most thoroughly investigated; it is also the richest and most profound." Originally published in 1973, this is the definitive survey of the Ising model, a mathematical model of ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics. This updated edition of the classic text features an
