New year startup & maximum displacement calculation
Statistical Physics and Complexity Group meeting
New year startup & maximum displacement calculation
- Event time: 11:30am until 12:30pm
- Event date: 29th January 2020
- Speaker: Mr Matthew Metson (School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Edinburgh)
- Location: Room 2511, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
In the first statistical physics group meeting of the year, Matthew Metson will present a classic calculation: the statistics of the maximum displacement achieved by a Brownian random walk. This example is motivated by the current theme of the Reading Group, extreme value statistics, but will be a fully self-contained presentation. The other half of the session will be an open discussion about the format and speakers in the stat-phys-group meetings going forward.
