Monte Carlo Insights

What is Monte Carlo?

Monte Carlo methods are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. They are often used in physical and mathematical problems and are most useful when it is difficult or impossible to use other approaches. Monte Carlo methods are heavily used in fields such as physics, engineering, finance, and statistics to simulate complex systems, estimate probabilities, and optimize solutions.
