Abstract: | A model of the random walk is formulated to allow a simple computing procedure to replace the difficult problem of solution
of the Fokker-Planck equation. The step sizes and probabilities of taking steps in the various directions are expressed in
terms of Fokker-Planck coefficients. Application is made to many particle systems with Coulomb interactions. The relaxation
of a highly peaked velocity distribution of particles to equilibrium conditions is illustrated.
