Weinzierl, S. - Introduction to Monte Carlo methods arXiv:hep-ph/0006269

Taylor, J. - Introduzione all'analisi degli errori : lo studio delle incertezze nelle misure fisiche - Zanichelli Disponibile nella biblioteca Scientifica di Roma Tre

Dubi, A. - Monte Carlo applications in systems engineering - Wiley Disponibile nella biblioteca Scientifica di Roma Tre

Type of delivery of the course

Lectures (about 24 hours) and Activities in Laboratory (about 36 hours). During the Laboratory Activities, each student can access a Personal Computer. The topics discussed during the Lectures will be worked out during the Laboratory Activities, using Mathematica, Python or C++.

Type of evaluation

Written and oral exams. Written test: design and coding of a computer program. The written exam consists of two parts. The first part is devoted to verify the specific knowledge of the techniques presented during the lectures. In the second part it will be required to apply these techniques in a broader context. Oral: discussion and presentation of a topic to be agreed upon. The preparing of this seminar will require a personal study of some chapters of a book.
