Monte Carlo methods

The Monte Carlo method finds approximate solutions through random sampling, that is, it approximates the probability of an outcome by running multiple trails. It is a statistical technique to find an approximate answer through sampling. Let's better understand Monte Carlo intuitively with an example.

Fun fact: Monte Carlo is named after Stanislaw Ulam's uncle, who often borrowed money from his relatives to gamble in a Monte Carlo casino.
