Correct uniform sampling in things like this comes up a lot in Monte Carlo radiation transport problems and is covered very well in your basic first year graduate Monte Carlo class in a good nuclear engineering program. If you want to go deeper, check out the literature around that.
- chrisseaton 8y ago> in your basic first year graduate Monte Carlo class How many years of graduate classes are there on Monte Carlo methods for there to be a 'first year' one?!
- vortico 8y agoI think he/she means the Monte Carlo class you take in your first year of nuclear grad courses.
- acidburnNSA 8y agoYeah, generally there's a lot of coursework like this in the first year. Then if you specialize in it you're going to take like 2-3 advanced classes plus relevant math and computer science stuff.
- cjslep 8y agoDepends if your graduate focus is on core neutronics or core thermodynamics.
- banachtarski 8y agoMonte carlo based sampling shows up also in finance, graphics programming, materials science, etc. Graphics programming and physics were areas where uniform sampling of a geometrical surfaces were important for me.
