Alright...basically I'm about to do a science fair that deals with magnetorheological fluids (fluids that increase in density or sollidify when exposed to a magnetic field), and I'm going to be using brownian motion to explain the difference between ferrofluids and MR fluids (you don't need to know what they are, I'm just saying)

Was wondering if anyone knew anything about brownian motion and gaussian distribution (in relation to brownian motion) -- I looked at the explanations, and I know how it works and all -- but the equations are a bit beyond me especially since this is my first year of calc and physics. If anyone knows anything about brownian motion, care to point me in the right direction by showing me which equations do what and how?! XD

I know this is a bit of a stretch, but I'll use any help I can get and eventually I'll get my physics teacher to explain it to me -- but if i can get additional info before the discussion i feel as if I can grasp what he says faster and have a more meaningful exchange with him.

Thanks, here are some equations (forgive me for using links)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_motion icon_pointl.gif I pretty much don't understand anything on this page lol
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_dynamics icon_pointl.gif Just one equation on this page...don't understand it [some of einstein's theories are involved in this as well. I clicked the link to his theories on this subject and i just gave up lol....this was it, Einstein relation, D = kBT / ΞΆ ]


Also, if you have the time or care at all, one more
http://bessie.che.uc.edu/tlb/teach/undergrad/chem381f97/math/node22.html

and this one is for background info if you need any -- this also has alot of equations. Again, thanks for helping out.
