In this talk, we briefly comment on Sweeny and Gliozzi methods, cluster Monte Carlo method, and recent transition matrix Monte Carlo for Potts models. We mostly concentrate on a new algorithm known as "binary tree summation". Some of the most interesting features of this method will be highlighted - such as simulating fractional number of Potts states, as well as offering the partition function and thermodynamic quantities as functions of temperature in a single run. ; Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures, for StatPhys-Taiwan 2002 conference
