Monte Carlo estimate of 𝛑
An elegant way to demonstrate the Monte Carlo technique is by estimating \(\pi\) in a simple geometry problem. Given a circle of radius r inscribed in a square of side 2r, the area of the circle is \(\pi*r^2\) and the area of the square is \(4r^2\). The ratio of those areas is \(\pi /4\), so if y...
