About this lesson
This video continues the series relating to Matrices (forming part of the Year 11 General Maths course). In this video I look at how we can use recursion with Transition Matrices. We know that states will change. Using Recurrence Relationships we can find one state from the previous. But this isn't always helpful! I look at how we can turn a recurrence relationship into a rule. I also look at what it means to be a steady state matrix and how to test if something has, in fact, reached a steady state. There are a number of worked example explained in an easy to understand way.
