* Using a surface fraction argument
A method that is easier to understand and does not make use of the $\sin$ function is based on the fact that if $X\sim U(0,1)$ and $Y\sim U(0,1)$, then $P[X^2+Y^2\leq 1] = \pi/4$ (see [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method]["Monte Carlo method" on Wikipedia]]). The following code uses this approach:
#+begin_src R :results output graphics :file figure_pi_mc1.png :exports both :width 600 :height 400 :session *R*
set.seed(42)
N = 1000

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:
