Rotational Brownian motion (astronomy) that the rotation axis of the binary is oriented at angle θ at time "t". The evolution equation for "F" is formula_17 If <Δξ>, "a", ρ and σ are constant in time, this becomes formula_18 where μ = cos θ and τ is the time in units of the relaxation time "t", where formula_19 The solution to this equation states that the expectation value of μ decays with time as formula_20 Hence, "t" is the time constant for the binary's orientation to be randomized by torques from field stars. Rotational Brownian motion was first discussed in the context of binary
Brownian Motion Ultimate instead of the usual two. When Tufts soundly defeated Brown in the finals at regionals, Brown missed nationals for the first time since 1997. The bright spot for Brownian Motion was the extremely talented freshman class, including Alexander Bowman, Dan MacArthur, Neale Mahoney, Ben Sprung, Paul Vandenberg, and future Callahan Award winner Joshua "Zip" Ziperstein. Entering the 2003 season, Brown was looking to be one of the top programs in college Ultimate, despite failing to qualify for Nationals the previous year. With a relatively young team, Brown won regionals without losing a game, beating a talented UMass squad 17-15 in
