  This is a book chapter soon to appear (2002) in the "Handbook for Numerical
Analysis" volume dedicated to "Computational Chemistry" edited by Claude Le
Bris. The series editors are P.G. Ciarlet and J. L. Lions. [North
Holland/Elservier]. This review deals with some of the methods known under the
umbrella term quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), specifically those that have been most
commonly used for electronic structure.
