Visualizing randomness

random Just came across an inter­est­ing diploma the­sis by Daniel A. Becker, super­vised by Prof. Johannes Bergerhausen:

RANDOM WALK

WHAT DOES RANDOMNESS LOOK LIKE? RANDOM WALK asks this ques­tion and presents exper­i­ments in math­e­mat­ics and physics, show­ing the mys­te­ri­ous inter­ac­tion of chaos and order in ran­dom­ness. The project RANDOM WALK sim­u­lates ran­dom­ness in visu­al­iza­tions, which are easy to under­stand. In this way, it deliv­ers insight into a phe­nom­e­non, which has so far remained unexplained.
