The Ising model is a mathematical model in statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics that is used to understand phase transitions, particularly ferromagnetism. Developed in the early 20th century by physicist Ernst Ising, the model simplifies the complex interactions in a material by considering a lattice (or grid) of discrete units, known as spins.
