"A method that is easier to understand and doest not make use of the sin function is based on the fact that if $X \\sim U(0,1)$ $Y \\sim U(0,1)$, then $P[X^{2}+Y^{2} \\le 1] = \\pi /4$ (see [\"Monte Carlo method\" on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method)). The following code uses this approach:"
"It is then straightforward to obtain a (not really good) approximation to $\\pi$ by counting how many times on average, $X^{2}+Y^{2}$ is smaller than 1:"
