Abstract
Using a combination of histogram techniques and sophisticated Monte Ca rlo simulation algorithms, we have intestigated the critical behavior of the d=3 simple cubic Ising model. From the finite size behavior of multiple thermodynamic quantities, we determined the critical properit es with a precision comparable to that obtainable by any other current approach; our best estimate of the critical coupling is K-c=0.2216595 +/-0.0000026. We also discuss the problems which can arise at this lev el of resolution.
