Bray, SIAM Rev. 6, 260 264, 1964 ref is a pseudo random number sampling method for generating a pair of independent standard normal random variable s.

Standard normal random variables are frequently used in computer science , computational statistics , and in particular, in applications of the Monte Carlo method . The polar method works by choosing random points x , y in the square &minus 1 x 1, &minus 1 y 1 until math s x 2 y 2 1, , math and then returning the required pair of normal random variables as math x sqrt frac 2 ln s s ,, y sqrt frac 2 ln s s . math Theoretical basis The underlying theory may be summarized as follows If u is uniformly distributed in the interval 0 u 1, then the point cos 2 u , sin 2 u is uniformly distributed on the unit circumference x sup 2 sup y sup 2 sup 1, and multiplying that point by an independent random variable whose distribution is math Pr rho a int 0 a re r 2 2 ,dr math will produce a point math left rho cos 2 pi u , rho sin 2 pi u right math whose coordinates are jointly distributed as two independent standard normal random variables.
