The Ising model is a mathematical model used in statistical mechanics to understand phase transitions in systems with magnetic properties. It simplifies the complex interactions in a magnetic material by representing spins on a lattice that can be in one of two states, up or down. This model is crucial for studying critical phenomena, self-similarity, and cooperative behavior in various physical systems.
congrats on reading the definition of Ising Model. now let's actually learn it.
