What is Stochastic?

77 Views Asked by At

I was looking through my course modules and I saw that in my 3-4th semester we do Stochastic. I tried to find out what it is on Google but I got even more confused. What is Stochastic and what does it relate to in Computer Science?

"Stochastic" is an English adjective which describes something that is randomly determined - so it is the opposite of "deterministic". In a CS course you could be studying stochastic processes such as random walks or Markov chains.
