Computational Statistical Physics — •Wolfhard Janke — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Leipzig, Postfach 100920, 04009 Leipzig

One line of computational statistical physics focuses on providing precise numerical data for testing and complementing analytical predictions for well-controlled model systems. After a brief overview of recent progress in Monte Carlo computer simulation methodologies, the current level of interplay between analytical and numerical considerations will be illustrated in more detail for one selected example application.
