Monte Carlo Methods in Statistical Physics (Paperback)

This book provides an introduction to Monte Carlo simulations in classical statistical physics aimed both at students beginning work in the field and at more experienced researchers who wish to learn more about Monte Carlo methods. The material covered includes methods for both equilibrium and out of equilibrium systems, and common algorithms like the Metropolis and heat-bath algorithms. Also discussed are more sophisticated methods such as continuous time Monte Carlo, cluster algorithms, multigrid methods, entropic sampling and simulated tempering.
