The Western Illinois University Math Club invites students to join the presentation by speaker Kinshuk Mangal from 3-4 p.m. Friday, March 7, in Morgan Hall 224.

From the Department of Mathematics and Philosophy, the WIU Math Club will be hosting a presentation with student speaker Kinshuk Mangal, a Mathematics major focusing on data science and statistics.

Mangal will present “Modeling Real-World Systems with Markov Chains,” where he will address key properties of finite Markov Chains, computational techniques for finding steady-state distributions and their applications in real-world problems. The speaker will also engage in analysis of examples and discussions that will provide attendees with a deeper understanding of how Markov chains can be used to model uncertainty in a variety of fields, from meteorology to finance.

The WIU Math Club welcomes anyone interested in participating. Those interested in participating online via Zoom.

The WIU Math Club is open to anyone with an interest in mathematics, not limited to math majors and minors. For more information on the club, contact the faculty advisor Mokhtar Aouina at M-Aouina@wiu.edu.
