Heterogeneous Random Walks

Famous quotes containing the words random and/or walks:

    “Man always made, and still makes, grotesque blunders in selecting and measuring forces, taken at random from the heap, but he never made a mistake in the value he set on the whole, which he symbolized as unity and worshipped as God. To this day, his attitude towards it has never changed, though science can no longer give to force a name.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “All we need is a meteorologist who has once been soaked to the skin without ill effect. No one can write knowingly of the weather who walks bent over on wet days.”
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
