#183 — Mathematical Marbling
All aboard as I attempt to simulate the artistic process of paper marbling. The algorithm is based on the paper 'Mathematical Marbling' by S. Lu, A. Jaffer, X. Jin, H. Zhao, and X. Mao. The code is written in JavaScript using the p5.js library.

Pi approximation
Let's celebrate PI Day by approximating the digits of Pi using a special location in the legendary Mandelbrot set fractal!
In this coding challenge, I use the Leibniz formula (aka infinite series) to approximate the digits of Pi and graph the convergence.
In this coding challenge, I use use a "monte carlo" method to approximate the value of Pi in Processing (Java).
