Random and irregular growth is all around us: tumor growth, fluid flow through porous media, and the spread of bacterial colonies. Simple models for these processes originated in the '50s with percolation theory and have since given rise to many new models and interesting mathematics. I will introduce a few models (percolation, invasion percolation, first-passage percolation, diffusion-limited aggregation, ...), along with some of their basic properties.
