What is this section about?

The Potts model is a more complex version of the Ising model, and is particularly useful in developing models for biology.  It uses statistics, probability, random numbers, Monte Carlo methods, and Markov chains.

Prerequisites:

1. A solid understanding of statistics, probability, and random numbers.

2. A basic understanding of Monte Carlo methods and Markov chains.

3. A basic knowledge of the Ising model.

4. Knowledge of intermediate computer programming.

Objectives:

1. To examine the structure of the Potts model using the tools developed previously.

2. To experiment with a simple Potts model simulation.

3. To recognize the programming steps in constructing a simple Potts model.
