The sixth edition of this highly successful textbook provides a detailed introduction to Monte Carlo simulation in statistical physics, which deals with the computer simulation of many-body systems in condensed matter physics and related fields of physics and beyond (traffic flows, stock market fluctuations, etc.). Using random numbers generated by a computer, these powerful simulation methods calculate probability distributions, making it possible to estimate the thermodynamic properties of various systems. The book describes the theoretical background of these methods, enabling newcomers to perform such simulations and to analyse their results. It features a modular structure, with two chapters providing a basic pedagogic introduction plus exercises suitable for university courses; the remaining chapters cover major recent developments in the field.
This edition has been updated with two new chapters dealing with recently developed powerful special algorithms and with finitesize scaling tools for the study of interfacial phenomena, which are important for nanoscience. Previous editions have been highly praised and widely used by both students and advanced researchers.
Dieter Heermann studied Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics. He received his Ph.D. at Boston University (USA) with the work "Metastability in Ising Models". From 1983 to 1987 he worked as a postdoctoral fellow and as an external member at the Institute of Solid State Physics at the Forschungszentrum Jülich. From 1984 to 1987 he was Assistant Professor at the University of Mainz, and in 1988 he was appointed as Professor at the University of Wuppertal. In 1989 he moved to the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Heidelberg University. There he joined the efforts to establish the newly formed interdisciplinary research center for scientific computing (IWR) and participated in many initiatives of the center, among them being the Vice-Chairman for the Heidelberg Graduate School of Mathematical and Computational Methods for the Sciences. From 2008 to 2014 he also served as an Adjunct Professor at The Jackson Laboratory, Maine (USA) and as Visiting professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011. Since 2013 he serves as Vice-President of Heidelberg University. He currently is Specialty Chief Editor Biophysics for the open access journal Frontiers.
