This textbook by Newman offers a clear introduction to Monte Carlo methods, aimed at students and researchers in physics and chemistry. It covers both basic and advanced techniques within Monte Carlo simulations in classical statistical physics.
About the book
The book covers Monte Carlo simulations for both equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems and discusses well-known algorithms such as Metropolis and heat-bath, alongside advanced methods such as continuous-time Monte Carlo, cluster algorithms, and multigrid techniques. In addition, it addresses data analysis and implementation, including topics such as data structures, multispin coding, parallelization, and random number generation. To conclude, it includes a variety of example programs to apply Monte Carlo methods practically to common models.
