Tides Explained with Simulations
Simulating why there are 2 tidal bulges. The differential gravity causes what seems to be to bulges of water on both sides of the earth. Why? A better explanation is to see these bulges as vector forces. I'm also explaining why there...

Calculating Pi with Darts
Pi can be calculated using a random sample of darts thrown at a square and circle target. The problem with this method lies in attempting to throw "randomly." We explored different ways to overcome our errors. A million thanks to Derek...
