蒙特卡罗方法（Monte Carlo method），也称统计模拟方法，是二十世纪四十年代中期由于科学技术的发展和电子计算机的发明，而被提出的一种以概率统计理论为指导的一类非常重要的数值计算方法。是指使用随机数（或更常见的伪随机数）来解决很多计算问题的方法。-Monte Carlo methods (or Monte Carlo experiments) are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. They are often used in physical and mathematical problems and are most useful when it is difficult or impossible to use other mathematical methods. Monte Carlo methods are mainly used in three distinct problem classes: optimization, numerical integration, and generating draws　a probability distribution.
