Different kinds of random walks ("stochastic processes") can be used to express solutions to many fundamental equations found in science & engineering ("PDEs"). These can in turn be used to develop Monte Carlo solvers. Here I visually catalog a few of the connections. #MCMA2023

I will never recover from this student email.

I had to do a Dr Eugenia Cheng --no advice please-- appreciation post because this woman keeps blowing my mind! As a kid, I always felt that something essential was missing from the way teachers taught mathematical concepts. So, as a young adult, I’ve never really been interested in the idea of math

Two very particular patterns of random movement — Brownian motion and Lévy walks — describe a great many physical phenomena. Recent data hint that Lévy walks may be a default movement pattern for many animal species. quantamagazine.org/random-search-…

Today I replied to an email I received on August 21, 2021.

You are on a game show. You choose one of three doors. The host moves to one of the other doors and opens it, revealing what appears to be a goat. It has horns and cloven hooves, at least, and you can't seem to make out the rest--you can't make out any details except its eyes--

The program of the 2024 Beg Rohu summer school is out! ipht.fr/begrohu Fantastic lecturers L. Canet, Werner Krauth, Peter Sollich, R. Speicher, M. Tarzia, and terrific seminars by R. Jack @SPappalardi to learn the way of statistical physics

New paper up on arXiv...What are the hitting probabilities of a resetting searcher? An inactivating one? They're the same! And we compute them here for drift diffusion in Rd, random walk on a network, super diffusion, run-and-tumble, etc: arxiv.org/abs/2404.01142

New paper in our lab led by Andrew Alegria and Amey Joshi published in Genetics Society of America . Fun collab with Daryl Gohl and Bischof group @umnme College of Sci & Eng We also made it to the cover! academic.oup.com/genetics/artic…

Applying the physics of spin glasses to a multiplayer economic game shows that agents never reach collectively optimal strategies even when they learn from past outcomes. Read go.aps.org/3V5daxi EconophysiX Lab Institut Polytechnique de Paris #PRXjustpublished #openaccess #PRXcomplex

Nice coverage of upcoming article with @zpkilpat, Bhargav, Samantha Linn and Sean Lawley in New Scientist by Karmela Padavic-Callaghan (they/them) This is a surprisingly subtle problem, and took some careful analysis: Results might seem obvious at first glance, but not so. newscientist.com/article/243885…

Members of the NITMB will gather today to explore the work-in-progress of Cody Fitzgerald, James S. McDonnell Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow at Northwestern, as part of the NITMB's Research-In-Progress meeting series

I spent the last year examining the longstanding agreement ("MOU") between the University of Utah and the Ute Indian Tribe. Under that, the U. gets to use the Utes' name for athletics. But what does the tribe get? And is it a fair deal? A thread 🧵: sltrib.com/news/education…
