RandomMathsInc is back after a long break, and today we talk about approximations using the Monte Carlo Method. Featuring random numbers and coding with Python.

Footnotes:
1 - If you want to know more about Monaco, wait until Geography Now makes a video about them (they're a great channel, you should check them out if you haven't already).
2 - Most of the time, rather than using truly random numbers, computers will use pseudorandom numbers (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudor.... They aren't actually random, but looks random enough to us and is random enough for the Monte Carlo Method.
3 - Have you seen our Pi Day video this year? That problem was solved with the Monte Carlo Method:    • Calculating Pi Experimentally (Buffon...
