or equivalent This course is concerned with the methods of Monte Carlo simulation. Approximately half the course will be devoted to developing the generic methods of Monte Carlo for estimation of integrals and for solving direct and inverse problems. The second half of the course will focus on application of Monte Carlo methods to solution of linear operator equations and particle transport.
