Demonstrates how odd and unusual math problems can be solved by bringing together basic physics ideas and powerful computers. This title looks at how the art of number-crunching has changed since the advent of computers, and how high-speed technology helps to solve conundrums such as the three-body, Monte Carlo, and gambler's ruin problems.

Some probability problems are so difficult that they stump the smartest mathematicians. But even the hardest of these problems can often be solved with a computer and a Monte Carlo simulation, in which a random-number generator simulates a physical process, such as a million rolls of a pair of dice. This is what Digital Dice is all about: how to ge
