Introduction to Markov Processes (a.k.a. Markov Chains)

Markov Chains Markov Processes, also called Markov Chains are described as a series of “states” which transition from one to another, and have a given probability for each transition. They are used as a statistical model to represent and predict real world events. Below is a representation of a Markov Chain with two states. If the […]

Searching for a Mate

Over the past year I have had several (in my opinion) excellent startup ideas. There are two specifically I thought were “the best” and I am running with them. I have even felt the waters so to speak and I had people willing to pre-order the items I wanted to make/develop (there was a lot […]

Gaussian Quadrature

Gaussian Quadrature can be used to approximate an integral, I have done a comparison on different quadrature methods previously. However, I will not be comparing Gaussian Quadrature (for the moment), instead I will be going over how it works and why it is an excellent approximation of integrals. Gaussian Quadrature Formally it is defined as, However, […]
