After 1900 Markov applied the method of continued fractions, pioneered by his teacher Pafnuty Chebyshev , to probability theory . He also studied sequences of mutually dependent variables, hoping to establish the limiting laws of probability in their most general form.

Andrei Markov is one of the highest touted prospects on defence in the NHL right now. He has tremendous skill and will surely be an impact player in the CTCHL. He has both great offensive talent and is also great defensively with a great shot and good crisp passes. He is the younger brother of Toronto Maple Leafs great defenseman Daniil Markov. He will get to play for the Atlanta Thrashers this season and has already emerged as a top 2 defenceman. He will only improve as he is only 22 years of age. He is 6 feet tall and weighs 203 pounds. He was drafted in the 1998 NHL entry draft by the Montreal Canadiens. He was a steal being picked in the 6th round 162nd overall. He hails from Voskresensk, Soviet Union.

Home Search Science Top Art ... Theater Andrei Andreyevich Markov Markov was most famous for his discovery of Markov chains. Markov graduated from St. Petersburg Acadamy in 1878. Markov gained fame after 1900 when he used the theory of continued fractions to explain the probability theory. His teacher, Chebychev, had already began some advances in the field. Markov later proved the Central Limit Theory, a now common statistical theorem. Markov Chains are sequences of variables that are determined by the term proceding them. The common analogy is a person walking. A person goes for a walk and never returns to his past position. Outside of his mathematical career, Markov was known as a political liberal and was never afraid to speak up. Markov "Participated in the liberal movement in Russia at the beginning of the twntieth century" (Dictionary of Scientific Biography).
