Monte Carlo :
Definitions of Monte Carlo on the Web:
-Monte carlo methods are those computer models based on "chance." A geometry is defined comprising a source and detector medium. Electrons and/or photons are "emitted" from the source and then "followed" and "scored" as they undergo interactions in the medium. Since it is a statistical process, one must have a large number of events (10 million), and the accuracy will also depend on the detailed specification of the source geometry and the medium (lumen, catheter, tissue).

-a method of creating data based on the Standard Model to be used in a simulation of a proton - antiproton collisions.

-A technique for producing estimates of "true" outcomes of stochastic processes by simply running many iterations of the model process and averaging the outcomes together. Results are given as statistics, eg mean and standard deviation of variable X.

-A computer-driven model that simulates a sufficiently large number of potential interest rate paths to value a security on the basis of performance along a composite of these paths. Monte Carlo is considered the most sensitive measure of valuing interest rate-sensitive debt instruments based on historical interest rate environments and their probability of repeating. Monte Carlo has become the standard for evaluating mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities.

-Monte Carlo is a solitaire pair-matching card game (using a deck of 52 playing cards) where the object is to remove pairs from the tableau. Contrary to its name, it has no relation to the city with the same name nor to any casino-related game.

Monte Carlo methods are a widely used class of computational algorithms for simulating the behavior of various physical and mathematical systems, and for other computations. They are distinguished from other simulation methods (such as molecular dynamics) by being stochastic, that is nondeterministic in some manner – usually by using random numbers (in practice, pseudo-random numbers) – as opposed to deterministic algorithms. Because of the repetition of algorithms and the large number of calculations involved, Monte Carlo is a method suited to calculation using a computer, utilizing many techniques of computer simulation.
A Monte Carlo algorithm is often a numerical Monte Carlo method used to find solutions to mathematical problems (which may have many variables) that cannot easily be solved, for example, by integral calculus, or other numerical methods. For many types of problems, its efficiency relative to other numerical methods increases as the dimension of the problem increases. Or it may be a method for solving other mathematical problems that rely on (pseudo-)random numbers.

is the wealthiest of Monaco's 4 quarters, sometimes erroneously believed to be the country's capital, even though there formally is none. Monte Carlo is known for its casinos, gambling, glamour, and for sightings of famous people. The permanent population is 30,000 (1990 estimate). Monte Carlo quarter includes, not only Monte Carlo proper where the casino is located, but also the neighborhoods of Saint Michel, Saint Roman/Tenao, and the beach community of Larvotto. It borders the French town of Beausoleil (formerly known as Haut-Monte-Carlo).
Monte Carlo is home to most of the Circuit de Monaco, on which the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix takes place; it also hosts world championship boxing bouts, the Monte Carlo Masters, fashion shows and other events. Monte Carlo has been visited by royalty as well as the general public and movie stars for decades. The quarter of Monte Carlo was served by tramways from 1900 to 1953, linking parts of Monaco. The Monte Carlo Rally is one of the longest running and most respected car rallies, and marks the start of each rally season as the first event on the World Rally Championship calendar.
Monte Carlo is one of Europe's leading tourist resorts, and has many attractions which include Monaco Cathedral, the Napoleon Museum and The Prince's Palace.
Most famous of the tourist attractions is the casino complex and the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo, an opera and ballet house, and the headquarters of the Ballets de Monte Carlo. In 1861 a 50-year concession to operate the gaming rooms was granted to a private individual. Since 1898 the concession has been operated by the Société des Bains de Mer, a private company, in which the government now holds a majority interest. This corporation also owns the principal hotels and clubs of the community that serve the tourist trade. The citizens of Monaco are exempt from taxes, and they are forbidden to enter the gaming rooms.

Monte Carlo is one of Monaco's quarters. It is not the capital. Technically, Monaco has no capital.

The name "Monte Carlo" (Italian) takes origin from the prince Carlo III of Monaco, whose state was able to be founded thanks to the protection of the Italian Monarchy. Since they divided in 1861, the official language had been Italian. In the last hundred years, the official language has become French.
