Pi Day Celebration Programs
===========================

piday_2015_random.py
    This program approximates PI graphically by plotting 2500 random points
    in a square and calculating the proportion of points that fall inside
    a circle inscribed inside the square to the total number of points. As
    the number of points increases, theoretically that proportion approaches
    PI / 4.

piday_2015_grid.py
    This program approximates PI graphically by plotting 2500 evenly-spaced
    points in a square and calculating the proportion of points that fall
    inside a circle inscribed inside the square to the total number of
    points. As the number of points increases, that proportion approaches PI
    / 4.
