This lecture covers the theory and practical aspects of Monte Carlo simulations in the context of molecular dynamics. Topics include the Boltzmann distribution, detailed balance, Metropolis algorithm, and ensemble averages. The instructor explains the importance of importance sampling and the concept of configurational space. Practical exercises involve implementing Monte Carlo moves and calculating ensemble averages in the NVT ensemble.
