Please make that video on Ray tracing

[@sourishk07]

Thank you for expressing your interest! Ray tracing is one of my favorite topics and I can't wait to get started on that video!

This is such a nice introduction to MC! Thank you.

[@sourishk07]

I'm really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for the comment

Very good

[@sourishk07]

Thanks for watching!

this video is awesome! Idk if i missed it, but I am curios how you learned this, was it classes at uni, work, or a personal thing?

[@sourishk07]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I initially learned this all on my own through reading different textbooks and articles. Later on though, one of my classes at Madison did cover it.

what application to no limit texas holdem would this have??

[@sourishk07]

Hey! Thanks for the question. From my rudimentary understanding of poker, there isn't necessarily a function that one needs to integrate. However, the concept of Monte Carlo simulations in general has huge applicability here. It could be used to estimate the likelihood of each hand winning or various other probabilities that would be useful to the players. You would simply simulate a large number of poker hands with a computer and watch the probability estimates converge to the true values.

@@sourishk07Thanks Dr. K, I will be using this as a holy instrument to unleash the wrath of the almighty against local donkeys, fish, and heathens.
