Title: Solving the Dirichlet Problem with Probability
Abstract: Given a domain D in R^n with nice boundary, and a nice function g(x) defined on its boundary, we will use Brownian motion to prove existence and uniqueness of solutions of the Laplace equation "Laplacian(h) = 0 on D, h=g on the boundary of D". No prior acquaintance with Brownian motion (or the Dirichlet problem) required.
