From Werner KRAUTH

Here are the 4 lectures that I gave at the Bad Honnef Physics School "Computational Physics of Complex and Disordered Systems" (A. K. Hartmann and A. P. Young, directors), in September 2015. A number of movies from my MOOC Statistical Mechanics-Algorithms and Computations were shown. They are not included in the pdf files.

Contents 1 1: Monte Carlo algorithms - basic notions 2 2: Hard disks: From detailed balance to global balance and to cluster algorithms 3 3: Integration and Sampling: From Gaussians to Maxwell and Boltzmann 4 4: Cluster algorithms for spin models
