Summary

 This plot was created with Matplotlib.
Description
English: As points are randomly scattered inside the unit square, some fall within the unit circle. The fraction of points inside the circle over all points approaches pi/4 as the number of points goes toward infinity. This animation represents this method of computing pi out to 30,000 iterations.
Português: Conforme os pontos são espalhados aleatoriamente no quadrado unitário, alguns caem dentro do círculo unitário. A fração de pontos dentro do círculo sobre todos os pontos se aproxima de pi/4 à medida que o número de pontos tende ao infinito. Essa animação representa esse método de cálculo de pi até 30 000 iterações.
