Monte Carlo method

Monte Carlo methods, also called the Monte Carlo experiments or Monte Carlo simulations, are a broad class of computational algorithms based on repeated random sampling for obtaining numerical results, conceptualized by Polish mathematician Stanisław Ulam. The underlying concept is to use randomness to solve deterministic problems.
