This document provides a demonstration of a random walk. A random walk is a mathematical object where we start at some point and randomly choose a direction to move in each time period, taking a fixed length step. This creates a path that appears to have no pattern or purpose but arises solely from randomness. The demonstration will show how taking random steps can produce complex, nonlinear patterns even though each individual step is simple.
