Monte Carlo methods

Monte Carlo integration

In mathematics, Monte Carlo integration is a technique for numerical integration using random numbers. It is a particular Monte Carlo method that numerically computes a definite integral. While other algorithms usually evaluate the integrand at a regular grid, Monte Carlo randomly chooses points at which the integrand is evaluated. This method is particularly useful for higher-dimensional integrals. There are different methods to perform a Monte Carlo integration, such as uniform sampling, stratified sampling, importance sampling, sequential Monte Carlo (also known as a particle filter), and mean-field particle methods.

Monte Carlo Integration In Python For Noobs

Monte Carlo is probably one of the more straightforward methods of numerical Integration. It's not optimal if working with single-variable functions, but nonetheless is easy to use, and readily generalizes to multi-variable functions. In this video I motivate the method, then solve a one-d
