# What do polymers look like in solution
In chemistry, there are three important, increasingly complex models for polymer chains in solution. The mathematical models behind them are detailed in  section 2.2 of`SPFP_summary_clean.pdf`. For personal interest, I decided to try and put those models into code, to actually see what these formulas turn out to form in the "real world".

This has presented me with a number of interesting challenges, mostly statistical in nature. Most of the solutions are based on the Monte Carlo method.

## How to see my work
Well, should you have `Python3`, `Jupyter Notebook`, `gnuplot` and `ffmpeg` installed, you can actually make your own plots and animations, tweak some parameters, and learn something about polymers. Since I suspect that you don't have all those tools, you can at least open `RandomWalkFigures.html` in your browser and will be presented with a static version of the notebook, which will still show you all the theory, code, and even some of the results!
