There should be no reason ever to use approximate methods based‚ for example‚ on the Central limit theorem. 1 Box Muller It would be nice to get a standard normal from a standard uniform by inverting the distribution function‚ but there is no closed form formula for this distribution 2 x function N (x) = P (X < x) = √1 π −∞ e−x /2 dx . The Box Muller method is a 2 brilliant trick to overcome this by producing two independent standard normals from two independent uniforms
