Paul Langevin was the first person to write the ‘Newton’s equation’ for a Brownian particle.
This equation is now called the Langevin equation and is often the starting equation required for understanding systems where microscopic fluctuations play an important role.
Brownian motion is the observed random motion of a small particle immersed in a fluid.
