- Third Party Resource Title: Random Walks in the Plane
- Third Party Resource Link: https://serc.carleton.edu/teaching_computation/workshop_2021/activities/245928.html
- Description: This in-class demonstration shows how to use the built-in random number generators to simulate and visualize two-dimensional random walks in the xy-plane, and begins to study the distribution of distances from the starting point. A homework assignment is included to continue analyzing the distribution of distances, study how the average distance depends on the number of steps, and generalize to three-dimensional random walks.
