在这本书首次出版后的七年里。应用蒙特卡罗计算机模拟方法的问题的范围已经有了巨大的扩展。这一事实已经导致增加了一个同伴卷（“应用蒙特卡罗方法在统计物理学”，主题在当前物理学。1984年出版的第36卷）。但该领域继续进一步发展;在蒙特卡洛算法的实现、专用于执行蒙特卡洛程序的专用计算机的构建以及分析这些程序生成的”数据”的新方法方面正在取得快速进展。这些和其他发展的简要说明，以及许多额外的参考资料，包括在一个新的章节，“最近的趋势在蒙特卡洛模拟”，这已经写了这个第二版。已进行了排印更正，并在适当情况下提供了更完整的参考资料，但其他章节的布局和内容保持不变。因此，这本书，连同上面提到的同伴卷，给出了一个相当完整和最新的审查领域。希望这本平装版的降价能够让其相关领域的广大科学家和学生都能接触到它：理论物理学和物理化学、凝聚态物理学和材料科学、计算物理学和应用数学等。
In the seven years since this volume first appeared. there has been an enormous expansion of the range of problems to which Monte Carlo computer simulation methods have been applied. This fact has already led to the addition of a companion volume (" Applications of the Monte Carlo Method in Statistical Physics", Topics in Current Physics. Vol. 36), edited in 1984, to this book. But the field continues to develop further; rapid progress is being made with respect to the implementation of Monte Carlo algorithms, the construction of special-purpose computers dedicated to exe cute Monte Carlo programs, and new methods to analyze the" data" generated by these programs. Brief descriptions of these and other developments, together with numerous addi tional references, are included in a new chapter," Recent Trends in Monte Carlo Simulations", which has been written for this second edition. Typographical correc tions have been made and fuller references given where appropriate, but otherwise the layout and contents of the other chapters are left unchanged. Thus this book, together with its companion volume mentioned above, gives a fairly complete and up to-date review of the field. It is hoped that the reduced price of this paperback edition will make it accessible to a wide range of scientists and students in the fields to which it is relevant: theoretical phYSics and physical chemistry, con densed-matter physics and materials science, computational physics and applied mathematics, etc.
