Peer reviewedEasterday, Kenneth; Smith, Tommy – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Proposes an alternative means of approximating the value of complex integrals, the Monte Carlo procedure. Incorporating a discrete approach and probability, an approximation is obtained from the ratio of computer-generated points falling under the curve to the number of points generated in a predetermined rectangle.
