http://schema.org/description
- "Is there order in randomness? When we observe random phenomena in our lives, we often suspect some key that unifies them. While this impulse may be a foundation of superstition, it is also a motivation for mathematicians. In this video from the 2009 Falling Walls Conference, Wendelin Werner analyzes the large-scale behavior of random systems such as random walks, the mathematical formalization of a trajectory that consists of taking successive random steps. The path traced by a molecule as it travels, the financial status of a gambler, or the propagation of a disease can all be modeled thanks to random walks, thus making Werner's intricate mathematical analysis applicable to a wide range of fields, from physics to epidemiology. For his work, Werner has been awarded the Fields Medal, one of the few awards in science even more exclusive than the Nobel Prize."
