Author here: I was pleased to see this while attending MCM 2017 (Monte Carlo methods). I'm open to reports about mistakes in the notes, or even thoughts on which further topics (from within MCMC, QMC, SMC, ETC) are most worthy of coverage in future chapters.

Thank you for releasing this book. I've just started working with simulations to solve some toy problems I've been pondering, and couldn't solve analytical, so the timing of this post is impeccable!

I've read the first chapter and it is very well written and easy to follow, and the exercises look really good.

I have 2 questions:

1) Are you open reports on minor spelling/grammar mistakes? (There's a missing full-stop on page 6, and on page 4 you write "in the road" instead of "on the road". Really minor things.)

2) Do you consider the current chapters "done"?

I'm happy to get helpful suggestions. With enough eyeballs, every typo is shallow. I'm easy to find online.

The current chapters are done enough to post. They could change somewhat later but only to another 'done' state.

Only the first 10 book chapters are linked to on this page (http://statweb.stanford.edu/~owen/mc/), why is that? The Table of Contents lists 17 chapters.

Has any work been done on this book since 2013?

[abowenmc]

Some of the posted chapters have had typos corrected since then. There are other unposted chapters that have been developing somewhat since then.

What are the subjects/titles of the unposted chapters?
