NUCL 5040G - Monte Carlo Methods


This course provides an introduction to simulation of stochastic processes using Monte Carlo methods. The emphasis of the course is Monte Carlo solution to the Boltzmann transport equation, specifically for radiation transport. Other applications of Monte Carlo analysis are introduced. These include, but are not limited to, molecular dynamics, statistical physics, biophysics and queuing theory. Concepts presented will include pseudorandom number and random variate generation, direct simulation of physical processes, Monte Carlo integration and variance reduction, detector response and estimators, and Monte Carlo optimization.
Credit hours: 3
Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate theory of ordinary and partial differential equations and introductory statistics.
Cross-listed: MCSC 6165G - Monte Carlo Methods .
