在任意给定的N维球面上随机均匀地产生位置的几种计算机程序已被提出，例如[3]和[4]。本说明的目的是提请注意一种利用正态分布函数的属性的方法。这种方法既可靠又易于使用。
Several computer procedures which generate positions uniformly at random on the surface of any given N-dimensional sphere have been suggested, for example [3] and [4]. The purpose of this note is to draw attention to a method that makes use of a property of the Normal Distribution Function. This method is both reliable and easy to use.
