| | This post is the second of a two-part series on early Monte Carlo methods from the 1940s and 1950s. In my previous post I gave an overview of Monte Carlo methods in the 40s and focused on the 1949 conference in Los Angeles. In this post I'll go over the classic paper Equation of State Calculations by Fast Computing Machines (1953) by Nick Metropolis and co-authors. I'll give an overview of the paper and its main results and then give some context about how it was written. I'll then delve into some details of how the MANIAC computer worked to give an idea of what it must have been like to write algorithms such as MCMC on it.
