  1. as a layman I find the present page too hard to understand, e.g. I don't know the terms "subgraph of a function" or "marginally"
  2. how does it compare to alternatives?
  3. I was looking for this information using the term "rejection algorithm", is that a common alternative name?

Example is good, but incomplete

The circle in square example is very clear, but it lacks the random rejection aspect of the algorithm; once the point is chosen, whether it will be accepted or not is already determined regardless of u. It would be nice to have a more complete example.

Also, this example is perhaps more of an example for importance sampling.
