Description

The relatively young Monte Carlo method has been finding its way into more and more undergraduate courses in recent years. While the Monte Carlo method provides a relatively straightforward technique for approximating areas and volumes, students are seldom exposed to its true power in real-world simulations. This paper presents a relatively simple application of the Monte Carlo method used in actual Air Force studies, and suggests ways of incorporating the application into any appropriate course.
