First sentence: In a Monte Carlo simulation we attempt to follow the 'time dependence' of a model for which change, or growth, does not proceed in some rigorously predefined fashion (e.g. according to Newton's equations of motion) but rather in a stochastic manner which depends on a sequence of random numbers which is generated during the simulation.
