10/27/25: Using absorbing Markov chains to model the timeline of an undergraduate program

In class we talked explored one of my favourite mathematical tools: Absorbing Markov Chains to model the lifeline of a student going through an undergraduate degree. This isn’t a particular tool that is only used in Game Theory but is in fact used in a number of different areas. It is however the fundamental building block for the next evolutionary game theoretic model we will be looking at.
