The seventh virial coefficient B7 is expressed as a sum of modified star integrals instead of the usual Mayer star integrals. The new graphs contain both Mayer f functions and f(≡1+f) functions. This simplifies the calculation of B7. That is, instead of the 468 star integrals that appear in Mayer's formulation, only 171 modified star integrals now appear in the evaluation of B7. Furthermore, for D‐dimensional particles with a hard core, these 171 integrals are strongly dependent on the number of dimensions D. For hard rods, hard disks, and hard spheres, respectively, at most one, 78, and 164 of these integrals give a nonvanishing contribution to B7. When Monte Carlo integration is used to evaluate these integrals using hard‐sphere and hard‐disk potentials we obtain the following values of B7: hard spheres, B7/(B2)6=0.0138±0.0004; hard disks, B7/(B2)6=0.1141±0.0005. For hard spheres, the truncated seven‐term virial series for the pressure agrees within 10% with the results of the molecular dynamics data t...
