TRIANGLE01_MONTE_CARLO
Monte Carlo Integral Estimates over the Unit Triangle in 2D

TRIANGLE01_MONTE_CARLO is a FORTRAN77 library which uses the Monte Carlo method to estimate the integral of a function F(X,Y) over the interior of the unit triangle in 2D.

The interior of the unit triangle in 2D is defined by the constraints:

        0 <= X
        0 <= Y
             X + Y <= 1
      

        F(X,Y) = X^E(1) * Y^E(2)
