Markov chains are mathematical systems that undergo transitions from one state to another within a finite or countably infinite set of states, with the property that the future state depends only on the current state and not on the sequence of events that preceded it. This memoryless property is central to probability theory and helps in modeling various stochastic processes, making it a fundamental concept in understanding random variables and their distributions.
congrats on reading the definition of Markov Chains. now let's actually learn it.
