From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Ising model
Perhaps the article should refer to his solution of the two dimensional Ising model. I believe that this solution was his most famous contribution to science.
Agreed, though the Onsager reciprocity relations are also quite famous. In addition I'm curious to know what his Yale dissertation was about. The statment that it took the mathematics department to comprehend it is quite intriguing.
His dissertation is readily available from the Yale library. I have inserted the title in to the article. -- Grady
