FTP, identify this process of using random numbers to probabilistically solve problems, not named for Las Vegas but for a gambling getaway in Monaco.
This method was first formulated after its inventor pondered the outcome of Solitaire games, Manhattan Project scientist Stanislaw Ulam. The Miller-Rabin primality test employs this method, and the quasi type of this method is used to perform integration with deterministically chosen numbers. The Buffon's Needle Problem, solved by this method, was used by Laplace to create an estimation for the digits of pi. Unlike another type of algorithms, they do not always produce the correct answer, instead their accuracy is dependent on the running time.
