Description
This title deals with the computer simulation of thermodynamic properties of many-body condensed-matter systems that use random numbers generated by a computer in physics and chemistry. It describes the theoretical background of several variants of these Monte Carlo methods and gives a systematic course by which newcomers can learn to perform such simulations and to analyze their results. This third edition has been updated and a chapter on some developments of the Monte Carlo methodology has been added.
Table of Contents
- Introduction - purpose and scope of this volume, and some general comments
- theoretical foundation of the Monte Carlo method and its application in statistical physics
- guide to practical work with the Monte Carlo method
