Using Monte Carlo methods to determine the average behavior of various physical
quantities in a nuclear reactor is quite different from other means of solving
the same problem. The other class of methods for determining the behavior of
neutrons and reactions rates in a reactor is so-called `determinstic`_
neutrons and reactions rates in a reactor is so-called `deterministic`_
methods. In these methods, the starting point is not randomly simulating
particles but rather writing an equation that describes the average behavior of
the particles. The equation that describes the average behavior of neutrons is
