Monte Carlo Methods in Statistical Physics [E-Book] / edited by Kurt Binder.
In the seven years since this volume first appeared. there has been an enormous expansion of the range of problems to which Monte Carlo computer simulation methods have been applied. This fact has already led to the addition of a companion volume ("Applications of the Monte Carlo Method in Stat...
