We can do math integration and solve radiation transport problems with Monte Carlo.
- acidburnNSA 3y agoIt was actually invented for this. Open source radiation transport Monte Carlo code here if you'd like to play around: https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc https://github.com/openmc-dev/openmc
- eodhosb 3y agoand ENIAC's first programs were Monte Carlo simulations.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoAny integral you can sample can be solved with monte carlo methods. This doesn't really have anything to do with the link.
- spookystats 3y agoActually it does, because MC integration works due to the law of large numbers - exactly what is presented in the article.
- CyberDildonics 3y agoRight, that's what is in the article, but just naming a random arbitrary use doesn't make any sense.
- brickteacup 3y agoSome people actually find learning new things to be interesting and would therefore appreciate a comment giving them a new avenue of exploration to pursue.
- abhimanyue1998 3y agoyep its beautiful how this can be done, its basically just taking the mean of values of function derived from random values from a uniform distribution of points in a specific range. Once done many times, we can approximate the integration value. Because E[X] = integration (f(u)p(u)du), p(u) will be 1 as the number is derived from a uniform distribution in the range of u.
- webdoodle 3y agoYep, several particle accelerator studies use it to model neutrino's.
