Homework 5

The document provides instructions for homework problems regarding the Ising model. It asks the student to: 1) Find the partition function and heat capacity per spin for a 1D chain of spins using the 1D Ising model. 2) Derive the partition function, average spin, and internal energy for three spins arranged in an equilateral triangle using the Ising model in a magnetic field, expressing the answers using hyperbolic trigonometric functions. 3) Solve additional problems from the textbook on the Ising model.
