Random Number Generation in T-SQL via Marsaglia Polar Method

Sebastiao Pereira implements a method for generating random numbers in T-SQL:

Generating random numbers from a normal distribution is essential for accuracy and realistic modeling, simulation, inference, and algorithm design for scientific, engineering, statistical, and AI domains. How can we build a random number generator using Marsaglia Polar method in SQL Server without the use of external tools?

It’s an interesting technique that works well for drawing points from a two-dimensional space around a point.
