1 # Monte Carlo Method 2 3 SS 4 5 **Definition:** The monte carlo method is a class of algorithms that use repeated random sampling to converge upon a solution to a problem where there may be a true solution, but are too complex to analyze. 6 7 An example of this is the calculation of PI using random sampling of a 2D grid to find the approximate area of a circle with a radius of 1. 8 9 Another example of this could be any arbitrary volume/surface area calculation where we don't know the exact formula for the true calculation.
