I'm guessing that the Chapman in the title might be Sydney Chapman? [1] -- The Anome 19:52, Jan 26, 2005 (UTC) Amended, from http://members.aol.com/jeff570/c.html --Adoniscik 17:17, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with master equation

The two terms are not the same: In the theory of Continuous-Time Markov Chains (CTMC) what is described under "master equation" is called the "balance equation".

Further, it is important to, at the least, ensure that both of these are "searchable" as some users may be familiar with one term but not the other, though they are related and both potentially useful to the same person, e.g.. I would suggest leaving as is and referring to the other in each via mention and/or a link.
