One potential source of confusion is that "Monte Carlo method" and "Monte Carlo algorithm" are not the same. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method described here - any method using random numbers to generate data - increasingly useful in many fields. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_algorithm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_algorithm any algorithm with a chance of giving an incorrect result - most often associated with testing for prime numbers.
