Monte Carlo methods in finance
Monte Carlo methods in finance are numerical techniques that price derivatives and measure portfolio risk by simulating random paths of risk factors and averaging discounted payoffs.
Monte Carlo methods in statistical physics
Monte Carlo methods in statistical physics sample configurations at random to compute ensemble averages, anchored by the 1953 Metropolis algorithm and later cluster algorithms that cure critical slowing down.
Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code
The Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code (MCNP) is a general-purpose Monte Carlo radiation-transport code developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, descended from 1940s Monte Carlo work by Fermi, von Neumann, and Ulam.
Monte Carlo neutron transport
Monte Carlo neutron transport is a computational method that simulates the random histories of individual neutrons, sampling collisions from nuclear data, and underlies codes such as MCNP and Serpent.

Monte Carlo ray tracing
Monte Carlo ray tracing is a family of stochastic rendering methods that estimate the light at each pixel by averaging randomly sampled light paths, introduced by James Kajiya in 1986.
Monte Carlo sampling
Monte Carlo sampling is a statistical method that estimates hard-to-compute sums, integrals, and probabilities by averaging many random samples from a probability model, with error shrinking as 1/√N.
Monte Carlo tree search
Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS) is a heuristic search algorithm for sequential decision problems that builds a partial tree through repeated randomized simulations and underpinned AlphaGo.
Monte Cassino
Monte Cassino: Benedictine abbey founded by St Benedict in 529 above Cassino, Italy, and the hill where four Allied battles against the Gustav Line were fought January-May 1944; the abbey was bombed February 15, 1944, captured by Polish II Corps on May 18, and rebuilt by 1964.
