Monte Carlo Methods, Second Edition provides an introduction to Monte Carlo methods by identifying and studying the unifying elements that underlie their effective application. Initial chapters provide a short treatment of the probability and statistics needed as background, enabling those without experience in Monte Carlo techniques to apply these ideas to their research. Including sample problems that readers can solve by themselves to illustrate the content ofeach chapter, this new edition is an ideal reference for theoretical physicists and chemists, computer specialists, statistics specialists, and mathematicians. INDICE: 1. What is Monte Carlo 2. A Bit of Probability Theory 3. Sampling Random Variables 4. Evaluation of Finite-Dimensional Integrals and Variance Reduction 5. Random Walks, Integral Equations and Variance Reduction 6. Simulations of Stochastic Systems: Radiation Transport 7. Statistical Physics 8. Quantum Monte Carlo 9. Pseudorandom Numbers
