Abstract

A discussion of random number generation is given, and the connection between Monte Carlo methods and random numbers is indicated. Outlines of two well established Monte Carlo sampling techniques are given together with examples illustrating their use. The general techniques for improving the efficiency of Monte Carlo calculations are discussed. Monte Carlo literature pertinent to medical physics is reviewed.
