Activity Overview
In "Rampage," a suspect enters the FBI Bullpen and moves about, apparently shooting people at random. Charlie examines a diagram of the killer's path through the Bullpen and suggests it might resemble Brownian motion.
In this activity, students first model this motion with ten iterations by hand and then use a program on the TI-84 Plus.
