+# MonteCarlo
+By generating many random values, you can estimate the result of complicated mathematical equations via a 
+technique known as the Monte Carlo method. You can estimate the value of π using a Monte-Carlo method.
+
+Envision a unit circle (radius = 1). 
+Specifically, we will work with the top right quadrant where all valid points are between { x = 0, y = 0 } and { x = 1, y = 1 }. 
+By randomly generating many x, y pairs and calculating the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle 
+with sides of length x, y using the Pythagorean theorem, hypotenuse=√(x^2+y^2 ), 
+you can classify the pairs into those that overlap the unit circle (hypotenuse<= 1, blue shaded area) 
+and those that fall outside the unit circle (hypotenuse>1, red shaded area). 
+
+The ratio of pairs that overlap the unit circle divided by the total number of pairs generated 
+is the area of the unit circle in the top right quadrant.
