This book provides a self-contained and up-to-date treatment of the Monte Carlo method and develops a common framework under which various Monte Carlo techniques can be "standardized" and compared. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the topics and a moderate prerequisite for the reader, this book should be of interest to a broad audience of quantitative researchers such as computational biologists, computer scientists, econometricians, engineers, probabilists, and statisticians. It can also be used as the textbook for a graduate-level course on Monte Carlo methods. Many problems discussed in the alter chapters can be potential thesis topics for masters’ or Ph.D. students in statistics or computer science departments.

The symphonic music of Brahms, the only major cycle he recorded in its entirety, forms the heart of our box set devoted to Carlo Maria Giulini's EMI recordings. These recordings are part of the great sessions he conducted at the baton of the Philharmonia Orchestra, of which Giulini was one of the most outstanding conductors in the 1960s. Like the rest of the box set, these second and third symphonies (here coupled with the Tragic Overture) have recently been remastered in high resolution.

Following the success of his solo recordings, Paolo Zanzu returns at the head of his ensemble Le Stagioni with ‘Officina Romana’, featuring the countertenor Carlo Vistoli. In the early eighteenth century, Rome was one of the great music capitals of Europe.

Apart from Mozart, Carlo Maria Giulini rarely ventured into eighteenth-century music, which makes these recordings - always magnificent successes - all the more precious! Haydn's symphony known as “The Surprise”, which was one of Giulini's favorite orchestral pieces and which he played a great deal in concert, is rendered here with great humor and energy by the Philharmonia Orchestra.

This book presents the refereed proceedings of the Twelfth International Conference on Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scientific Computing that was held at Stanford University (California) in August 2016. These biennial conferences are major events for Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo researchers.
