  2. Algorithms for Monte Carlo Simulations (multidimensional integrals), Metropolis-Hastings and importance sampling algorithms. Improved Monte Carlo methods. Stochastic reconfiguration.
  3. Statistical analysis of data from Monte Carlo calculations, bootstrapping, jackknife and blocking methods.
  4. Eigenvalue solvers
