Recently I’ve been working on some jackknife and bootstrapping problems. While working on those projects I figured it would be a fun distraction to take the process and estimate pi. I’m sure this problem has been tackled countless times but I have never bothered to try it using a Monte Carlo approach. Here is the [...]

I’ve recently taken delivery of a Raspberry Pi mini computer. For anyone who doesn’t know, this is a low cost, low power machine, costing around 20 GBP (25 USD) and consuming around 2.5 Watts of power (it is powered by micro-USB). This amazing little device can run linux very adequately, and so naturally I’ve been […]
![\STATE [algorithmic package]](http://xianblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/pi10000.jpg?w=450&h=450)
I fought with my LαTεX compiler this morning as it did not want to deal with my code: looking on forums for incompatibilities between beamer and algorithmic, and adding all kinds of packages, to no avail. Until I realised one \STATE was missing: (This is connected with my AMSI public lecture on simulation, obviously!) Filed [...]
