The Marsaglia polar method is an efficient algorithm for generating pairs of independent standard normally distributed random numbers (i.e., numbers that follow a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a variance of 1). This method is especially notable because it avoids the use of trigonometric functions, making it computationally efficient.
