Lecture 12: Monte Carlo Integration (45)
JefferyYC

I am curious about how we integrate over irregular shapes, since these shapes are likely not defined by an explicit function.

@JefferyYC I would imagine that could be done by splitting the irregular shapes into a set of regular shapes and integrating over them (potentially infinitesimally). Alternatively, I could also see we just use approximations to a regular shape and integrate over that.

This cos*cos'/ |p-p'|^2 is very interesting. the cos' term is the lambert, |p-p'|^2 is related to the r^2 of the fallout, why do we have cos theta though?
