Reading this post over at Scientific Blogging gave me the idea to see how big of an online library one could build just by using free and legal resources one can find online.
There are, of course, several well known resources that provide vast amounts of books for your perusal, such as:
Google Books
Project Gutenberg
MIT’s OpenCourse […]

Now that we have a better understanding as to when a system reaches equilibrium and of how it evolves from equilibrium state to equilibrium state we can start answering the important question of how we can measure average equilibrium properties of the system in a way that ensures the correctness of the result. In conventional […]

This is the first post on a series on Monte-Carlo Methods. We’ll explore the traditional way in which they were used and also more recent variations and adaptations.
Named after a casino in Monaco, Monte-Carlo methods work in a way that closely mimics the gambling that occurs there. Dice are rolled, and fortune decides who is […]

An important problem when dealing with experimental data, whether this data originated in a “real” experiment in a numerical one, is to reduce the ammount of stochastic noise. This is specially important when trying to determine the distribution P(x) of a given quantity quantity x. A common approach is to apply some form of logarithmic […]
