for the function g defined as
The internal energy per site is given by
an exact relation relating internal energy and magnetization.

“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.”
