Monte Carlo Approximation Of
Main Concept
|
The Monte Carlo method in approximating π follows the following steps:
1.
|
A number of points are selected at random within a square with an inscribed circle
|
2.
|
The number of points inside the circle divided by the total number of points will result in an approximation of π/4. We multiply by 4 to get the estimate for .
|
|
|
|
Adjust the number of points being plotted and see how it affects the approximation of Pi.
