Maruszewski, Richard F., Jr.; Caudle, Kyle A. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2005

As part of a discussion on Monte Carlo methods, which outlines how to use probability expectations to approximate the value of a definite integral. The purpose of this paper is to elaborate on this technique and then to show several examples using visual basic as a programming tool. It is an interesting method because it combines two branches of…
