Introduction to Computational Physics and Monte Carlo Simulations of Matrix Field Theoryby Badis Ydri - arXiv
We give an elementary introduction to computational physics. We deal with the problem of how to set up working Monte Carlo simulations of matrix field theories which involve finite dimensional matrix regularizations of noncommutative field theories.
