Title and abstract for

CPS615 Foils -- set D: Statistics and Random Numbers (In preparation for Monte Carlo)

Given by Geoffrey C. Fox at CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science on Fall Semester 95. Foils prepared 21 October 1995
which leads to edit sector initialized at overall parameters
Summary of Addons which lists all addon files pointed to in foilset
This is a SINGLE file Containing all Foils in nonIMAGE (i.e. HTML) form
This contains all WebWisdom links preceded by those referenced in this foilset
This contains an Index of Foilset Suitable for Printing (There is no easy way of Printing all foils -- just the index)
This just contains Title of Foilset and Links

This CPS615 Module has an overview of Random Numbers and statistics at the level needed for clear discussion of Monte Carlo Integration
It starts with basic properties of Random Numbers and extensions to multiple random variables and concept of independencs
Derivation of non-uniform probability distribution is illustrated with Gaussian distribution
We discuss computer generation of random variables for both sequential and parallel machines
