The purpose of this AMSI Summer School courseis to provide a comprehensive introduction to Monte Carlo Methods , with amix of theory, algorithms (pseudo + actual), and notes present a highly condensed version Kroese, T.

I have tried to make these notes fairly self-contained, while retaining the general flavour of the Handbook.
