Description

We use the number Pi to calculate the circumference and area of a circle, but have you ever wondered where this number comes from or how to calculate it? In this coding activity, you will randomly generate points similar to a very bad player shooting darts at a dartboard. The percentage of darts that land inside the circle can help us calculate Pi. Then change the colors of the points just for fun!

The College of Arts and Sciences is often called the academic heart of Ohio State. Not just because of its size, but because this is where arts, humanities, and natural, mathematical, social, and behavioral sciences can converge in unique and unexpected ways. When we combine different perspectives and expertise, we can better investigate critical problems through creative and scholarly inquiry, engage the public in reciprocal community collaborations, and deliver an exceptional education for Ohio State students.
