What Are Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Calculations

What Are Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics Calculations  

The easy availability of computers of increasing power has greatly encouraged the two approaches described in this section. In the Monte Carlo (MC) approach. 

The ability of these computational approaches to predict reality is good. A limitation is the cost of the software, which may amount to many thousands of dollars. However, some properties of solutions can be calculated more eheaply than they can be determined experimentally (Section 2.5). Increasing computer power and a lowering of the cost of the hardware indicates a clear trend toward the ability to calculate chemical events.
