Alexander Keller 
Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods 
MCQMC 2020, Oxford, United Kingdom, August 10–14

This volume presents the revised papers of the 14th International Conference in Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo Methods in Scientific Computing, MCQMC 2020, which took place online during August 10-14, 2020. 

This book is an excellent reference resource for theoreticians and practitioners interested in solving high-dimensional computational problems, arising, in particular, in statistics, machine learning, finance, and computer graphics, offering information on the latest developments in Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods and their randomized versions.
