Description

The Course will provide students/participants with an up-to-date overview of possibly all technical advances of computer simulation in statistical mechanics, giving a fair glimpse to the domains of interesting applications.

This will be the third event of the series, 10 years after the COMO Enrico Fermi Summer School on "Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics of Condensed Systems", and 20 years after the VARENNA Enrico Fermi Summer School on "Molecular dynamics of statistical mechanical systems".

The program will consists of 4 hours of general lectures in the morning followed by 3 seminars on applied topics in the afternoon.

A special session will take place on saturday 23rd July on the occasion of Prof. Mike Klein 65th birthday.
