Synopsis
This introduction to Monte Carlo methods and their applications emphasizes the unifying ideas that underlie the study and use of good methods. It discusses the importance of random walks both as they occur in natural stochastic systems, and in their relation to integral and differential equations. In addition, variance reduction and importance sampling as a technical means of achieving variance reduction are addressed.
