Question Details:
Let (Y1, Y2) enote the coordinates of a point chosen at random inside a unit circle whose center is at the origin. That is, Y1 and Y2 have a joint density function given by f(y1, y2)= 1/pi for  or 0 elsewhere. Find .

I know you have to use a double integral to solve for P via  but I am not sure how to represent the limits of integration. Thank you for your help!

Let us pose: y1 = x and y2 = y
 
 
Looks familiar now?
 
 
So we have a radius of 0 < r < 1 and theta of 0 < θ < 2π
 
 
This makes sense since a ''density'' is always equal to 1 (it mentions its a density function).

Did you know if you mesure the length of your arm and divide by the length of your elbow to your finger you will get
As of today in 2008, nobody in the world has found the sum of all they know is that it converges because of the p-serie theorem but they cannot find the sum.

One of my teachers, as been working on that sum for about 5 years now, he found a concret answer (he ended up creating an instrument of that serie called ''tritare'' its pretty cool) but he has not found a mathematical expression to express it.

My pic is the instrument called Tritare.
