Understanding the content: Markov chains in continuous time
The panel on the right of this page contains links to videos on the topics we are studying as part of this chapter. On the pages for each of these videos you will find a link to a worksheet containing comprehension questions. You should print out the comprehension questions, watch the video and try to answer the comprehension questions based on the ideas that are explained in the video. If you are struggling to answer any question please come and ask.
