Markov chain A simple two-state Markov chain A Markov chain (discrete-time Markov chain or DTMC[1]), named after Andrey Markov, is a mathematical system that undergoes transitions from one state to another on a state space. It is a random process usually characterized as memoryless: the next state depends only on the current state and not on the sequence of events that preceded it. This specific kind of "memorylessness" is called the Markov property. Introduction[edit] A Markov chain is a stochastic process with the Markov property. In literature, different Markov processes are designated as "Markov chains". While the time parameter definition is mostly agreed upon to mean discrete-time, the Markov chain state space does not have an established definition: the term may refer to a process on an arbitrarily general state space.[5] However, many uses of Markov chains employ finite or countable (or discrete on the real line) state spaces, which have a more straightforward statistical analysis. . . and

Noam Chomsky Spells Out the Purpose of Education E + ducere: “To lead or draw out.” The etymological Latin roots of “education.” According to a former Jesuit professor of mine, the fundamental sense of the word is to draw others out of “darkness,” into a “more magnanimous view” (he’d say, his arms spread wide). As inspirational as this speech was to a seminar group of budding higher educators, it failed to specify the means by which this might be done, or the reason. What is the difference between education and indoctrination? First, Chomsky defines his view of education in an Enlightenment sense, in which the “highest goal in life is to inquire and create. Chomsky defines the opposing concept of education as indoctrination, under which he subsumes vocational training, perhaps the most benign form.
