•Consider uniformly sampling a point on a sphere
–Uniformly means that the probability that the point is in a regiondepends only on the area of the region, not its location on the sphere
•Generate points inside a cube [-1,1]x[-1,1]x[-1,1]
•Reject if the point lies outside the sphere
•Push accepted point onto surface
•Fraction of pts accepted: /6
•Bad strategy in higher dimensions
