As we’ve seen in class and in our textbook, the estimation of Pi through Monte Carlo simulations is a pretty casual and standard example.  It’s a good one too since it allows us to visualize the norms of setting up a Monte Carlo simulation, and see what the method actually achieves.  The Monte Carlo method […]

It’s difficult these days to pick up a newspaper or watch the news without hearing at least one piece of news about the pollution problems in this […]

There are a lot of different subjects already posted on interpolation, but I wanted to find some really interesting use of interpolation other than just graphics and image transformations. I saw one study talking about interpolation being used to detect heart deficiencies (based upon normal heart rates), but that was a little too complicated […]
