A Monte Carlo Application to Approximate the Integral from a to b of e Raised to the x Squared.
Easterday, Kenneth; Smith, Tommy
School Science and Mathematics, v92 n1 p23-25 Jan 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.
