Monte Carlo Strategies in Scientific Computing

Rating:
Summary: A First Rate Book on MC
Review: The author is a top young gun from Harvard's Statistics Dept., and is an expert in many applied areas that utilize Monte Carlo, like the red hot bioinformatics. This book covers MC techniques developed in many different fields e.g., physics,structural biology, statistics. It has a wide range of examples, some of which are very new (e.g., bioinformatics) and non-standard. It contains many interesting ideas, and is concise mathematically and easy to read. Highly recommended.
