Computer simulators are continuously confronted with questions concerning the choice of a particular technique for a given application. A wide variety of tools exist, so the choice of technique requires a good understanding of the basic principles. This title explains the physics behind the 'recipes' of molecular simulation for materials science.

Markov process theory is basically an extension of ordinary calculus to accommodate functions whose time evolutions are not entirely deterministic. This book develops the single-variable theory of both continuous and jump Markov processes. It is intended for physicists and chemists at the senior and graduate level.
