Is this not better known under the name Random walk? --Dante Alighieri 05:51 28 May 2003 (UTC)

I know it as "Drunkard's walk", but it would probably be a good idea to have the other as a redirect, whichever we choose for the main article title. -- John Owens 05:55 28 May 2003 (UTC)

The following google search: "random walk" computer science returned 20,400 hits. "drunkard's walk" computer science returned 199 hits. Now, this is by no means conclusive, because it might be listed as drunken walk or perhaps mathemticians prefer drunkard's and CS prefers random, but I think that it is most likely more common in the Random walk form. --Dante Alighieri 06:27 28 May 2003 (UTC)
