AN interesting but highly mathematical memoir by Prof. Karl Pearson and Mr. J. Blakeman on "A Mathematical Theory of Random Migration" has just been re-issued. The problem dealt with is, in simple terms, the following: - Given that a large number of individuals move by successive straight steps of length x in random directions, starting from one and the same point, required to find their distribution after y such steps. The solution, which is obtained in terms of Bessel functions, is applicable to such practical ...

AN interesting but highly mathematical memoir by Prof. Karl Pearson and Mr. J. Blakeman on "A Mathematical Theory of Random Migration" has just been re-issued. The problem dealt with is, in simple terms, the following: - Given that a large number of individuals move by successive straight steps of length x in random directions, starting from one and the same point, required to find their distribution after y such steps. The solution, which is obtained in terms of Bessel functions, is applicable to such practical problems as the infiltration of mosquitoes into a cleared area, or the recovery of a habitat by a species which has been driven out owing to temporarily unfavourable conditions. Prof. Pearson obtained some assistance in the solution of the problem through a letter addressed to our correspondence columns (vol. lxxii., p. 294, July 27, 1905). - Nature , Volume 75 [1907]
