Coded up the Ising Model, huh? Classic. Double pendulum is another classic. I did electron avalanche in a channel electron multiplier, even though the scattering was a li'l bit BS; I'm not gonna code in the exact QM interactions for a class project.

Fortran 90 is a reasonable language, imho, and still the fastest for computation, I think. Fortran 77 was the worst thing I've ever worked with in my life.

Just ditched IDL (proprietary astro/space physics community bullshit) for Python. The libraries, m'boy, the libraries!

I hardly remember. I believe so, but I think we were creating a model using a free energy equation. This is the pub I got out of the efforts:

I recall my Fortran superconductor model did look a lot like this:

I'd like to be walked through it all over again.

Ohhhhhh, been a while since I dipped my toes into stat mech. The last thing we got into was group renormalization theory, and in a year or two, I'm gonna dust off my Pathria & Beale and see if it's applicable to my corner of physics. No one in my community uses group renormalization, so it's either useless or a potential goldmine.
