Introduction

The following is a tiny guide to shepherding random numbers. Originally I used this as a part of a presentation, but it seemed like it would work well as a little text as well. It does not really deal with statistics or probability, it is simply a collection of a few useful tricks I've learnt for manipulating random numbers. Usually I use the following techniques as a part of a larger work.

This text relies on Javascript animations (Canvas). They should work on most devices, but please let me know if you experience any issues.

You can click or tap all animations to restart them.
