Computational Physics Seminar

The Monte Carlo method and its uses

Presented by Dr. Kevin Cahill (UNM)

The Monte Carlo method is simple, robust, widely applicable, and surprisingly useful.  I will describe its use in numerical integration, in experimental physics, in statistical mechanics, and in lattice gauge theory.  If there is time, I also will explain some recent research on the sign problem.
