Recensione

'... the most complete book on Monte Carlo simulations that I have ever read, written by two of the field's most well-respected authorities. The book contains a detailed description of the different methods and techniques illustrated with clear and concrete examples, making it an invaluable reference of anyone - from novices to experts - interested in Monte Carlo simulations. ... The book's presentation is exceptionally clear, making for entertaining reading without sacrificing mathematical rigor. ... the book is invaluable for its detailed presentations of finite size effects, ergodicity, critical slowing down, and the difficulties involved in off-lattice methods, to name just a few example topics. ... In recent years, my research interests have made extensive use of molecular dynamics simulations, but reading this book has inspired several applications that will make use of Monte Carlo Methods. I'm sure this inspiration will pass on to anyone else reading this book.' Computing in Science and Engineering

Descrizione del libro

This book deals with all aspects of Monte Carlo simulation of complex physical systems encountered in condensed-matter physics and statistical mechanics as well as in related fields, for example polymer science and lattice gauge theory. It includes many applications, examples, and exercises throughout.
