Technicolor models explain electroweak symmetry breaking as a result of
nonperturbative dynamics. A quantitative control of nonperturbative effects is
necessary in order to test these models against precision measurements, and to
assess their capability to describe physics beyond the Standard Model. Recent
progress in simulating gauge theories on a space-time lattice have made it
possible to use numerical methods to address these questions. We present
results from first numerical simulations of the Minimal Walking Technicolor
theory and discuss future directions in this new field.
