Taking lead from @salt, extending the applications of Monte-Carlo(MC) to silicon circuits simulations.
I am trying to pick stuff from BTech, 1st year Basic Electronics which most engineers (irrespective of branch) would have studied (or at least heard in class 🤪). Below we have a picture of a very basic Resistor-Capacitor (RC) circuit connected to a battery (Voltage). For theoretical simplifications, we assumed the resistor to have a single, whole-number value (for example, a 5-ohm resistance). In real when we manufacture such resistance (or capacitors), due to complexities associated with manufacturing processes, exhibit a tolerance range around the base value. The resistor we took might exhibit a value between 4.95 ohm to 5.05 ohm. Such range variations lead to changes in currents flowing through these circuits.
Now imagine, a simple home device having millions of such resistors. All these devices would exhibit different resistance values (some might show 4.95, others might show 5.025, rest 5.05). All these variations make the life of an electronics designer much more complicated. They use Monte-Carlo simulations to explore the range of output current variations and define downstream parameters accordingly. MC makes life bit deterministic in an otherwise uncertain electronics world!
I hope, I am able to add some value to “geeking-out” series. Shoot your queries, if any🤓

Can I shoot queries? How do normal people get involved in this 🥺 People who hated Physics and Maths and are glad it is outta their lives
Um this is pretty normal. It gets crazier as you go from engineering maths1 ->maths3
Bro main hi janta hu mene kese engineering mathematics pass ki thi .. Damn, it was really hard for me to pass it by studying in just one night, as usual.
Oh wow yes. That makes so much sense. It just makes so much sense that the tolerance values can add up over the entire circuit. These microinteractions can be modelled as a Monte Carlo simulation.
This was a super fun expeirence.
