Science Simulations

A collection of simulations based on famous labs. This README offers brief summaries about the different projects. View each project’s folder to see specific features and run instructions.

Solubility Quizzer Automatically generates ionic compounds and quizzes the user on their solubility.

Brownian Motion Offers a particle based simulation of 1D Brownian motion, then shows that it is analogous to a 1D random walk by comparing the dependences of displacement and mean-squared-distance to time. Also simulates random walks in n-dimensions, and shows visual animations of 1D, 2D, and 3D random walks.

Luria-Delbrück Fluctuation Test A simulator of the Luria-Delbrück Fluctuation Test, which showed that the "mutation hypothesis"--that mutations arose randomly independent of their environment--was correct, as opposed to the "acquired immunity hypothesis"--that mutations occured as an adaptive response to an environmental stimulus.

Run-and-Tumble Chemotaxis A simulation of a run-and-tumble chemotaxis on a linear chemical gradient.
