Theory Guide
============

We provided a brief theory guide into the methods, algorithms, and compilation
schemes in MC/DC.

New to Monte Carlo transport?  Start with :ref:`mc_basics` for the
fundamentals and :ref:`geometry` for how MC/DC represents problem domains.
Then explore the advanced topics below.

For an additional external resource, see the
`OpenMC theory guide <https://docs.openmc.org/en/latest/methods/index.html>`_.
