title: Compare and Contrast Monte-Carlo Method and Evolutionary Algorithms
body: <p>What's the relationship between the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method" rel="noreferrer">Monte-Carlo Method</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_algorithm" rel="noreferrer">Evolutionary Algorithms</a>? On the face of it they seem to be unrelated simulation methods used to solve complex problems. Which kinds of problems is each best suited for? Can they solve the same set of problems? What is the relationship between the two (if there is one)?</p>
