Summary
Within this book we have attempted to elucidate the essential features of Monte Carlo simulations and their application to problems in statistical physics. We have attempted to give the reader practical advice as well as to present theoretically based background for the methodology of the simulations as well as the tools of analysis. New Monte Carlo methods will be devised and will be used with more powerful computers, but we believe that the advice given to the reader in Section 4.8 will remain valid.
