  • Abstract
    Monte Carlo Method has been widely used in the past to deliver approximate solutions of many scientific computing problems. This paper presents an improvement upon the basic Monte Carlo Method which can increase the computing accuracy with the help of lower and upper bounds. We call it Bounded Monte Carlo Method. Two examples (i.e., computing the number π and computing event probability) are used to illustrate the application of our Bounded Monte Carlo Method.
