This PR converts the wealth dynamics lecture to use JAX instead of NumPy/Numba, addressing issue #812b7e3e-c818-4a29-a183-7a25078f0a8d.
Changes Made
JAX Conversion:

jax.config.update("jax_enable_x64", True)np.array()jax.vmapfor efficient parallel computationjax.lax.scaninstead of Python loops for time series generationCode Quality:
Verification:
The lecture now uses modern JAX best practices while maintaining all original functionality and educational content. Performance is improved through JIT compilation, and the code follows functional programming patterns appropriate for scientific computing.
