In most cases, the computation is intractable, but good approximations can be obtained using Markov chain Monte Carlo methods.

Therefore, four loose families of more-efficient light transport modelling techniques have emerged: rasterization, including scanline rendering, geometrically projects objects in the scene to an image plane, without advanced optical effects ; ray casting considers the scene as observed from a specific point-of-view, calculating the observed image based only on geometry and very basic optical laws of reflection intensity, and perhaps using Monte Carlo techniques to reduce artifacts ; and ray tracing is similar to ray casting, but employs more advanced optical simulation, and usually uses Monte Carlo techniques to obtain more realistic results at a speed that is often orders of magnitude slower.

In path tracing, however, only a single ray or none is fired at each intersection, utilizing the statistical nature of Monte Carlo experiments.

Perhaps the most notable edifice of this area is the monastery of Monte Oliveto Maggiore.

The Gambler's fallacy, also known as the Monte Carlo fallacy ( because its most famous example happened in a Monte Carlo Casino in 1913 ), and also referred to as the fallacy of the maturity of chances, is the belief that if deviations from expected behaviour are observed in repeated independent trials of some random process, future deviations in the opposite direction are then more likely.

The precise dating of the Rule of the Master is problematic ; but it has been argued on internal grounds that it antedates the so-called Rule of Saint Benedict created by Benedict of Nursia for his monastery in Monte Cassino, Italy ( c. 529 ), and the other Benedictine monasteries he himself had founded ( cf.

This area is characterised by the many picturesque hilltop villages ( Pitigliano, Roccastrada, Roccatederighi, Sassofortino, Monte Massi, Massa Marittima, Cinigiano, Campagnatico, Pari ), which remind of the hilltop towns of the Siena area.

Blessed Pope Victor III ( c. 1026 – 16 September 1087 ), born Daufer ( Dauphar ), Latinised Dauferius, was Pope as the successor of Pope Gregory VII from 24 May 1086, yet his pontificate is far less impressive in history than his time as Desiderius, the great Abbot of Monte Cassino.

Victor's only existing literary work " Dialogues ," is on the miracles wrought by St. Benedict and other saints at Monte Cassino.

There is also a letter to the bishops of Sardinia, where ( since circa 1050 brought under Pisan and Genoan control ) he sent monks while still abbot of Monte Cassino.

The first possible historical reference to the vase is in a 1601 letter from the French scholar Nicolas Claude Fabri de Peiresc to the painter Peter Paul Rubens, where it is recorded as in the collection of Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte in Italy.
