Abstract

This chapter reviews the elementary phenomenology of diffusion and Fick’s derivation of the diffusion equation. It recounts Einstein’s theory that connects diffusion with the Brownian motion and Langevin’s extension of that theory. It presents the early mathematical theories of the Brownian motion.
