What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The exposition is quite clear, intuitive, and is a useful complement to more abstract treatises on stochastic calculus and simulation.”   (MathSciNet, 1 December 2015)

“Careful presentation and examples make this book accessible to a wide range of students and suitable for self-study or as the basis of a taught course.”  (Zentralblatt MATH, 1 March 2014)

“Statistical computing in its broadest sense is an ever-growing field far too extensive to be covered in a single text. The current book has a far more manageable scope, notwithstanding its title. Its focus is on the use of Monte Carlo methods to simulate random systems and explore statistical models.”  (Mathematical Association of America, 1 January 2014)
