The approximate value of pi (π) is 3.141592653589793 and is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. An approximation of pi can be calculated using the Monte Carlo method generating random points in a square with a circle inside. The estimated value of pi = 4 * (Points in Circle/Total Points).
Change the number of points and click the random button to generate a new set of points. The more points, the better the estimate. Even with points as low as 10, the method is mostly at or near 3. 100,000,000 points resolves to 3.141. 787/1000 is needed for a 3.14.
