"A method that is easier to understand and does not make use of the sin function is based on the\n",
"fact that if $X \\sim {\\sf U}(0, 1)$ and $Y \\sim {\\sf U}(0,1)$ then $P[X^{2}+Y^{2}\\le1]=\\pi/4$ (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:"
