Solving the partition function and using a calculation of the free energy yields an equation describing the magnetization M of the system
for the function g defined as
The internal energy per site is given by
an exact relation relating internal energy and magnetization.

Famous quotes containing the words equation and/or state:
“A nation fights well in proportion to the amount of men and materials it has. And the other equation is that the individual soldier in that army is a more effective soldier the poorer his standard of living has been in the past.”

“I met a Californian who would
Talk California—a state so blessed
He said, in climate, none had ever died there
A natural death, and Vigilance Committees
Had had to organize to stock the graveyards
And vindicate the state’s humanity.”
