Brownian motion mentioned at the end of the article and more generally Langevin Dynamics are incredibly useful. They're this weird interface between normal physics and statistical mechanics. When a big complex molecule is constantly jostled by smaller molecules, these nowhere-continuous motions are a good way to approximate what happens.

Plus, rather bizarrely, it helps to understand this area to do actual statistics, in software such as Stan.
