Mathematics Colloquium: Monte Carlo Simulations for Geometric Probability by Will Confoy ’24 & Gerardo Morales ’24, Wednesday February 21, 1:00 – 1:50pm, North Science Building 113, Wachenheim

 

Abstract: How do you pick a random point in a triangle? What about a circle? We will explore how to generate such points using only the uniform distribution on [0,1]. Additionally, we will create Monte Carlo simulations to experimentally confirm theoretical results for known problems in geometric probability, such as Buffon’s Needle Problem.
