Abstract
The solution of the many-body statistical mechanical theory of elasticity formulated by James and Guth in the 1940s [H. M. James, J. Chem. Phys. 15, 651 (1947)] is presented. The remarkable aspect of the solution is that it gives an elastic free energy that is essentially equivalent to that developed by Flory over a period of several decades.
