<tabbox Why is it interesting?>

The Ising model is the simplest model with a critical point and thus ideal to understand notions like [[advanced_notions:critical_exponent|critical exponents]] and the [[advanced_tools:renormalization_group|renormalization group]] in a simplified setup.

<note tip>
Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

The best introduction can be found in Critical point phenomena: universal physics at large length scales by Bruce, A.; Wallace, D. published in the book The new physics, edited by P. Davies

It was originally devised as a simplified model of a ferromagnet, but is applicable also in a much broader sense. There is no need to refer to any ferromagnetic setup, but instead the Ising model can be defined completely general.
