This is a tutorial review on the Potts model aimed at bringing out in an organized fashion the essential and important properties of the standard Potts model. Emphasis is placed on exact and rigorous results, but other aspects of the problem are also described to achieve a unified perspective. Topics reviewed include the mean-field theory, duality relations, series expansions, critical properties, experimental realizations, and the relationship of the Potts model with other lattice-statistical problems.
