A Guide to Monte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics

Know about the book -

A Guide to Monte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics is written by David P. Landau and published by Cambridge University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0521653665 (ISBN 10) and 9780521653664 (ISBN 13).

This book describes all aspects of Monte Carlo simulation of complex physical systems encountered in condensed-matter physics and statistical mechanics, as well as in related fields, such as polymer science and lattice gauge theory. The authors give a succinct overview of simple sampling methods and develop the importance sampling method. In addition they introduce quantum Monte Carlo methods, aspects of simulations of growth phenomena and other systems far from equilibrium, and the Monte Carlo Renormalization Group approach to critical phenomena. The book includes many applications, examples, and current references, and exercises to help the reader.
