Von der hinteren Coverseite

Monte Carlo methods have become a widely used computational approach to many-dimensional problems in chemical physics. They provide techniques for quantum mechanical, classical mechanical, and statistical mechanical simulations of molecular processes and thermo-dynamics in chemistry, physics, and biology. No single previous volume has brought together the latest trends in Monte Carlo simulations. In sixteen diverse chapters by leading specialists in the field, Monte Carlo Methods in Chemical Physics displays the breadth of state-of-the-art possibilities for these methods, richly demonstrating why they have become an important computational paradigm in so many fields. Monte Carlo Methods in Chemical Physics emphasizes methodology and includes many chapters that present details of Monte Carlo algorithms. Covering the spectrum of topics from few- to many-body systems, from small molecules to large biomolecules, from sampling of conformational space to chemical reactions, this volume allows readers to develop the best approach for their own research. Monte Carlo algorithms are expected to benefit greatly from current advances in parallel computers. For physical chemists and molecular physicists interested in new techniques for molecular simulation and for any researcher interested in computer optimization or statistical sampling-this volume is an invaluable source of cutting-edge concepts that are expected to increase in importance in the future.
