Peer reviewedHouser, Larry L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
Monte Carlo methods are used to simulate activities in baseball such as a team's "hot streak" and a hitter's "batting slump." Student participation in such simulations is viewed as a useful method of giving pupils a better understanding of the probability concepts involved. (MP)

Peer reviewedGunther, L.; Weaver, D. L. – American Journal of Physics, 1978
A model of Brownian motion is discussed which includes viscosity effects. The model lends itself to Monte Carlo simulation and thus is suitable for an elementary physics laboratory experiment. (BB)
