Lec 20 | MIT 6.00 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming | Monte Carlo simulations

Juku.org | Help us change Learning forever.

Lecture Description:
Monte Carlo simulations, estimating pi

Course Description:
This subject is aimed at students with little or no programming experience. It aims to provide students with an understanding of the role computation can play in solving problems. It also aims to help students, regardless of their major, to feel justifiably confident of their ability to write small programs that allow them to accomplish useful goals. The class will use the Python™ programming language.
