	Andrey Markov Summary
		Markov involved himself in anti-Czarist, liberal politics and protested Czar Nicholas II (1868-1918) refusal to elect writer Maxim Gorky (1868-1936) to the St. Petersburg Academy in 1902.
		Markov then stayed on at St. Petersburg to work for his master's degree, which was granted in 1880, then for his doctorate, which he received in 1884.
		Andrey (Andrei) Andreyevich Markov (Russian: Андрей Андреевич Марков) (June 14, 1856 N.S. July 20, 1922) was a Russian mathematician.

	Markov chain
		A Markov chain (named in honor of Andrei Andreevich Markov) is a stochastic process with what is called the Markov property[?], of which there is a "discrete-time" version and a "continuous-time" version.
		Markov chains are used to model various processes in queuing theory and statistics, and can also be used as a signal model in entropy coding techniques such as arithmetic coding.
		Markov chains also have many biological applications, particularly population processes, which are useful in modelling processes that are (at least) analogous to biological populations.

	Andrey Markov - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Andrey (Andrei) Andreyevich Markov (Russian: Андрей Андреевич Марков) (June 14, 1856 N.S. July 20, 1922) was a Russian mathematician.
		Andrej Andreevich Markov was born in Ryazan as the son of the secretretary of the public forest management of Ryazan, Andrey Grigorevich Markov, and his first wife, Nadezhda Petrovna Markova.
		Markov was among them, but only his election was not affirmed by the minister of education.

		The Markov property means that the conditional probability distribution of the state in the future, given the state of the process currently and in the past, depends only on its current state and not on its state in the past.
		Markov chains are often described by a directed graph, where the edges are labeled by the probabilities of going from one state to the other states.
		Markov chains are related to Brownian motion and the ergodic hypothesis, two topics in physics which were important in the early years of the twentieth century, but Markov appears to have pursued this out of a mathematical motivation, namely the extension of the law of large numbers to dependent events.

		PART B. The method called Markov chains was developed by the Russian mathematician Andrei Andreevich Markov (1856-1922) as a way of assessing whether sequential events are independent of one other (in the sense of probability theory).
		Because data may merely approach a Markov process, a quantitative assessment of the closeness of that approach was devised from the concept of uncertainty (entropy) developed by Claude Shannon in his mathematical theory of communication.
		Markov chains cannot handle this problem logically, but the user can focus upon switches in behavior to code a succession of events that will usually reveal important aspects of how one animal's behavior is influencing that of the other.

		Andrei Andreevich Markov was born June 2, 1856 in Ryazan, Russia.
		His introduction of the Markov chain as a model for the study of random variables made huge amounts of research possible in stochastic processes [ a stochastic process is a family or a collection of random variables indexed by a parameter-also called a chance or random process.
		His motivation for the writing of his papers involving the Markov chains was first, to show that Chebyshev’s approach to extending the Weak Law of Large numbers to sums of dependent random variables could be taken even further.

		The Biostatistics dissertation research cluster "Markov" (named after famed mathematician and statistician Andrei Andreevich Markov) was funded by STF 2004-105 and provided a fault-tolerant Dell Poweredge server (the main Markov node), 7 dual-CPU commodity servers (as secondary cluster nodes) and supporting equipment such as keyboard switch to operate the cluster.
		Markov and other student computers do not have licenses for some common data transformation and statistical softwares and this submission proposes some small additions of software licenses to address this and make these computers more broadly useful.
		Markov access is available to all students in the Department of Biostatistics and is also available to students registered in Department collaborative courses such as Statistical Genetics.

		In 1913 the Saint Petersburg (Russia) mathematician Andrei Andreevich Markov (1856-1922) published a short treatise that was nothing short of revolutionary ("An example of statistical study on the text of `Eugene Onegin' illustrating the linking of events to a chain").
		Markovs way of calculating probability has established itself as an effective method in the area of mechanical language recognition and in the decoding of gene sequences.
		The early use of Markovs methods by the formalist critic Boris Tomashevsky for his theory of verse certainly seems to indicate that what we are looking at are the initial steps in the (pre-) history of information theory and cybernertics.

	Calendar of Events
		This year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Andrei Andreevich Markov (1856-1922), and the 100th anniversary of his first paper on what came to be called Markov chains.
		Markov's motivation for his first paper on this topic was to provide a counterexample to an assertion of his old adversary, the mathematician Pavel Alekseevich Nekrasov (1853-1924), which attempted to link the statistical regularity observed in human affairs with the theological concept of free will.
		This presentation will focus on the life and times of Markov (who achieved great eminence in number theory as well as in probability), and on the contractive properties of stochastic matrices, which are revealed in his first paper on Markov chains.

		The first was Andrei Andreevich Markov, who began his studies at St. Petersbourgh University in 1874 and was appointed assistant professor in 1880 (Adams 80).
		Markov did say that one advantage of Chebyshev’s proof was the rigor of the reasoning, but he did not believe the proof was laid out in such a way that it preserved this rigor.
		Markov’s proof is restricted to continuous random variables, though it could easily have been applied to discrete cases as well (83).

		A Markov Chain (named after Andrei Andreevich Markov) is a model that can be used to accurately predict useful information for many different applications.
		For example, a Markov chain could be used to determine how many students will be attending a certain college in so many years, or the amount of a specific size shirt a store should stock.
		The Markov chain can do this based on information of what has happened in the past, unlike the random walk which is not history sensitive.

		Markov retired as Full Professor from St. Petersburg University in 1906, although he continued to teach until 1913 as Privat-Dozent the course on probability, which he had taken over on the departure of his mentor Pafnuty Lvovich Chebyshev (1821-1894) from the University in 1883.
		Markov’s general motivation for writing his sequence of papers on chains was to show that these two classical theorems of probability theory could be extended to sums of chain-dependent random variables.
		Markov’s name is also attached in statistical theory to Markov’s Inequality, which extracts the essence of the Bienaymé-Chebyshev Inequality; and to the (misnamed) Gauss-Markov Theorem.

	Markov (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Markov is a lunar impact crater that is located in the northwestern part of the Moon's near side, in the Sinus Roris region of the Oceanus Procellarum lunar mare.
		It lies to the south of the Oenopides crater, and is connected to the continental region to the north by ridges along the northern rim.
		By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Markov crater.

		The techniques of proof and the properties of the limiting surface are evocative of (and deeply related to) the classical works of Logan-Shepp and Vershik-Kerov on the limit shape of a random Young diagram chosen according to Plancherel measure.
		Abstract: Margarita Kondratieva and Sergey Sadov have recently made an astounding historical discovery: the so-called Wilf-Zeilberger (WZ) Pairs, introduced in 1990, have apparently been also defined by A.A. Markov, of Markov Chains fame, exactly a hundred years earlier, in a memoir that was then available for the modest price of 30 kopecs.
		While it is not embarrassing to be scooped by a giant like Markov, a closer reading, and being careful not to be victims of hindsight and anachronism, indicates that while Markov came awfully close, he missed their chief raison d'etre, and most negligently, failed to give them a name (like Markov Pairs, e.g.).
