Short Description:
Random number generators are fundamental for simulations. The Linear-Congruential Generators (LCG) are simple to implement and lead to a sequence of pseudo-random numbers. The computation is x_n = a*x_n-1 + b mod m. The selection of proper parameters is however non-trivial and may lead to non-obvious issues.
