Scientific paper

Markov chains are used to give a purely probabilistic way of understanding
the conjugacy classes of the finite symplectic and orthogonal groups in odd
characteristic. As a corollary of these methods one obtains a probabilistic
proof of Steinberg's count of unipotent matrices and generalizations of
formulas of Rudvalis and Shinoda.
