Ebook Description :

Monte carlo in statistical physics refers to the application of the monte carlo method to problems in statistical physics or statistical mechanics. Unlike many other books that focus on its applications this book spends the first three chapters on a thorough explanation of the mechanism how monte carlo methods work markov chain detailed balance ergodicity and on how to measure their efficiency the book is clear and thorough as it makes sense to an average physics student.
