A typical example is the molecular dynamics (MD) method.
This is not going to be efficient since there are more than :math:`2\times 10^{25}` molecules per cubic meter in normal atmosphere,
and things get extremely complicated if the N-body interactions are counted all the time.
Simplifications can be conducted to accelerate the numerical computation.
As an example, the Monte Carlo method employs certain particle models and conduct the interactions in a stochastic manner.
It significantly reduces the computational cost, while the trade-off is the artificial fluctuations.
