Monte Carlo (disambiguation)
Monte Carlo is an administrative area of Monaco, famous for its Monte Carlo Casino gambling and entertainment complex.
Monte Carlo or Montecarlo may also refer to:
Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo( or colloquially" Monte- Carl") is officially an administrative area of the Principality of Monaco, specifically the ward of Monte Carlo/ Spélugues, where the Monte Carlo Casino is located.
Informally, the name also refers to a larger district, the Monte Carlo Quarter( corresponding to the former municipality of Monte Carlo), which besides Monte Carlo/ Spélugues also includes the wards of La Rousse/ Saint Roman, Larvotto/ Bas Moulins, and Saint Michel.
The permanent population of the ward of Monte Carlo is about 3,500, while that of the quarter is about 15,000.
Monaco has four traditional quarters.
From west to east they are: Fontvieille( the newest), Monaco- Ville( the oldest), La Condamine, and Monte Carlo.
Monte Carlo is situated on a prominent escarpment at the base of the Maritime Alps along the French Riviera.
Near the quarter's western end is the world- famous Place du Casino, the gambling center which has made Monte Carlo" an international byword for the extravagant display and reckless dispersal of wealth".
It is also the location of the Hôtel de Paris, Café de Paris and Salle Garnier( the casino theatre which is the home of the Opéra de Monte- Carlo).
The quarter's eastern part includes the community of Larvotto with Monaco's only public beach, as well as its new convention center( the Grimaldi Forum), and the Monte- Carlo Bay Hotel& Resort.
At the quarter's eastern border, one crosses into the French town of Beausoleil( sometimes referred to as Monte- Carlo- Supérieur), and just to its east is the western border of Italy.
Monte Carlo or Bust!
Monte Carlo or Bust!
is a 1969 British/French/Italian co-production comedy film, also known by its American title, Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies.
The story is based on the Monte Carlo Rally – first raced in 1911 – and the film recalls this general era, set in the 1920s.
A lavish all-star film (Paramount put $10 million behind it)
, it is the story of an epic car rally across Europe that involves a lot of eccentric characters from all over the world who will stop at nothing to win.
The film is a sequel to the 1965 hit "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines".
Terry-Thomas appeared as Sir Cuthbert Ware-Armitage, the equally dastardly son of the Sir Percy Ware-Armitage, which Thomas had played in the earlier film.
Some others of the cast from the first film returned, including Gert Fröbe and Eric Sykes.
Like the earlier film, it was written by Ken Annakin and Jack Davies and directed by Annakin, with music by Ron Goodwin.
The title tune is performed by Jimmy Durante.
The credits sequence animation was the work of Ronald Searle, who was also featured in Annakin's earlier "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines".
Tony Curtis and Susan Hampshire played other contestants in the race; Curtis also starred in the similar period-piece comedy "The Great Race" (1965) from Warner Bros.
The film was originally intended to be called "Rome or Bust".
The American distributors Paramount Pictures re-titled it "Those Daring Young Men in Their Jaunty Jalopies" to tie it to Annakin's 1965 film; re-editing also meant cuts, up to a half-hour, from the original UK release.
Quasi-Monte Carlo method
In numerical analysis, the quasi-Monte Carlo method is a method for numerical integration and solving some other problems using low-discrepancy sequences (also called quasi-random sequences or sub-random sequences).
This is in contrast to the regular Monte Carlo method or Monte Carlo integration, which are based on sequences of pseudorandom numbers.
Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods are stated in a similar way.
The problem is to approximate the integral of a function "f" as the average of the function evaluated at a set of points "xx":
Since we are integrating over the "s"-dimensional unit cube, each "x" is a vector of "s" elements.
The difference between quasi-Monte Carlo and Monte Carlo is the way the x are chosen.
Quasi-Monte Carlo uses a low-discrepancy sequence such as the Halton sequence, the Sobol sequence, or the Faure sequence, whereas Monte Carlo uses a pseudorandom sequence.
The advantage of using low-discrepancy sequences is a faster rate of convergence.
Quasi-Monte Carlo has a rate of convergence close to O(1/"N"), whereas the rate for the Monte Carlo method is O("N").
The Quasi-Monte Carlo method recently became popular in the area of mathematical finance or computational finance.
In these areas, high-dimensional numerical integrals, where the integral should be evaluated within a threshold ε, occur frequently.
Hence, the Monte Carlo method and the quasi-Monte Carlo method are beneficial in these situations.
La rondine
La rondine(" The Swallow") is an opera in three acts by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Giuseppe Adami, based on a libretto by Alfred Maria Willner and.
It was first performed at the Grand Théâtre de Monte Carlo( or the Théâtre du Casino) in Monte Carlo on 27 March 1917.
RMC (France)
RMC is a private French- Monégasque radio station created in 1943, broadcasting from France with studios in Paris and Monte Carlo.
RMC stands for Radio Monte Carlo.
The Belgian
The Belgian is a 1917 American silent film directed by Sidney Olcott and produced by Sidney Olcott Players with Valentine Grant and Walker Whiteside in the leading roles.
It is not known whether the film currently survives.
Build or Bust
Build Or Bust is a reality television series.
Monte Carlo Country Club
Monte Carlo Country Club( MCCC) is the home of the ATP's Monte Carlo Masters tournament.
It is also the base of the Monte Carlo Tennis Academy.
Despite the club's name, it is not located in Monte Carlo or even in Monaco; it is actually located in the commune of Roquebrune- Cap- Martin in the Alpes- Maritimes department of France, just outside Monaco's northeastern border.
Rock or Bust World Tour
Rock or Bust World Tour was a 2015–2016 concert tour by Australian rock band AC/DC, in support of their sixteenth studio album "Rock or Bust" (2014).

Question: Are Monte Carlo or Bust! and The Belgian from the same country?
Answer: no
