Integral geometry | Probability problems | Applied probability
In mathematics, Buffon's needle problem is a question first posed in the 18th century by Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon: Suppose we have a floor made of parallel strips of wood, each the same width, and we drop a needle onto the floor. What is the probability that the needle will lie across a line between two strips? Buffon's needle was the earliest problem in geometric probability to be solved; it can be solved using integral geometry. The solution for the sought probability p, in the case where the needle length ℓ is not greater than the width t of the strips, is This can be used to design a Monte Carlo method for approximating the number π, although that was not the original motivation for de Buffon's question. (Wikipedia).
The story about the needle and the needle holder continues
In this episode I explain the placement of a needle in a needle holder in a bit more depth, showing why needles bend and how to have a more natural wrist angle when suturing.
