Finding pi with random numbers and probability

Finding π using random numbers and probability. This short demonstrates a Monte Carlo approach, showing how randomness and statistics can converge to an accurate estimate of pi through repeated trials ...
Abstract: Aside from the natural background ionizing radiation that humans are constantly exposed to, there is a significant risk of elevated radiation levels from building materials with enhanced ...
Abstract: X-ray scatter presents a significant challenge in computed tomography (CT) by introducing artifacts and diminishing contrast, ultimately affecting measurement accuracy in reconstructed ...
Recently, there has been more drama in the Kennedy Center’s offices than in its performance spaces. That was certainly the case yesterday, as the hallowed landmark was — whatever the legality — ...
Ramanujan’s elegant formulas for calculating pi, developed more than a century ago, have unexpectedly resurfaced at the heart of modern physics. Researchers at IISc discovered that the same ...
