- A nice toy introduction to the renormalization group and its use for
- doing phase transition calculations is given by Kadanoff and Maris in an
- article in the AJP (Am J Phys 46, 652) - they consider 1-D and 2-D Ising
- models. This article is comprehensible by anyone with a little bit
- of statistical physics knowledge.
