Abstract: The calculation of critical exponents by combining finite size scaling and the transfer matrix technique is proposed and applied to the two-dimensional q-state Potts model. The exact results for q = 2 are very accurately reproduced. For q = 3, our results suggest α = 13and δ = 14. Convergence of our results for q ⩾ 4 is poor but it is suggested that α $̆12and δ #62 14 for q = 4. A preliminary result for the dynamical exponent of the stochastic Ising model is reported.
