Buffon's Needle, An
Analysis and Simulation
Buffon's Needle is one of the oldest problems in the field
of geometrical probability. It was first stated in 1777. It involves
dropping a needle on a lined sheet of paper and determining the
probability of the needle crossing one of the lines on the page. The
remarkable result is that the probability is directly related to the value
of pi.
These pages will present an analytical solution to the problem along with
a program (written for Macintosh computers) for simulating the needle drop
in the simplest case scenario in which the length of the needle is the
same as the distance between the lines. |

Java applets for teaching
I have been working on using Java applets to provide interactive
instruction on the Web and also to provide access to research procedures.
Below are some applets that I have developed in both areas. Some of them
aren't fully documented yet so beware.
