This lecture covers the Monte Carlo simulation of 2D spin systems, focusing on the Ising model. It explains the model of spins in 2D, physical quantities of interest, and the application of the Metropolis algorithm. The lecture also discusses trial moves, computational effort, and numerical challenges in simulating finite spin systems.
