3 Fascinating Ways To Approximate Pi in Python

[@ionut.666]

for the monte carlo simulation you can actually generate x and y between 0 and 1 to be able to use less number of steps

A nice bit of light entertainment, thank you. I have been a nerd for 72 years, so this is fun. 🙂

If Montecarlo is computed for a completely filled surface and thus an infinity of points, then the surface difference between circle and square multiplied by 4 should be Pi, too. Just reasoning ...

[@Roboballs42]

Yes because you'd have an infinite accuracy on your estimation of pi. But how do we calculate these infinite points?

[@murphygreen8484]

Technically, for the first method, more terms does not necessarily mean closer to pi as the distance from pi goes up and down as the terms plus and minus. Yes, overall a lot of terms will get you closer, but the very next term might actually be further away.

Thanks ☺️

term for that would be quarter circle! @7:25 Mins

Thank you 😊

For Monte Carlo no need to consider the whole circle just a quarter and values from 0 to 1 also does the trick

this was fun

Thx_.
