This work aims to provide an environment for all users who are beginner in the context of the statistical simulation approaches. These techniques are known as the Monte Carlo methods as a whole nowadays. Indeed, the Monte Carlo, as a statistical simulation technique, itself involves the Markov chain Monte Carlo that attracts the attention of researchers from a wide variety of study fields. One may see the Markov chain Monte Carlo as statistical simulation approaches that work based on the iterative algorithms and so the others that are not based on iterative algorithm are the Monte Carlo approaches. We would recommend the reader(s) to learn the elementary undergraduate courses in calculus, probability, and statistics before studying or applying this report for practical purposes. The required topics may include, but not limited to, concept of mathematical function, limit, derivative, partial derivative, simple integrals, probability axioms, discrete and continuous random variables, probability distributions, concept of central tendency and variance, multivariate probability distributions, functions of random variables, and the central limit theorem (CLT).
