A monte carlo simulation of Buffon's needle for purposes of estimating pi
This was a first year University project I completed in 2013. It uses a Monte Carlo method to find an approximation to Pi. See Buffon's needle problem for related reading. Written in Python, and uses Turtle.
Two different python implementations of Buffons-Needle problem
Buffon's Needle Drop problem is among the first geometric probability problems in mathematics to be solved. It addresses the following question: Given a needle of length l dropped on a plane ruled with parallel lines d units apart, what is the probability that the needle will lie across a line upon landing?

**Final year in college** Part of my simulation models homework. A project that attempts to estimate the value of Pi through the Buffon's needle problem.
