Matemático ruso (1856 - 1922) quien es mejor conocido por su trabajo en probabilidad y stochastic processes, especially Markov chains.
In 1874, he joined the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, University of St. Petersburg where he attended the lecture I Tchebyshev , who was head of the mathematics department. Markov
graduated in 1878 winning the gold medal for submitting the best essay for the topic selected for the award by the faculty in that year: On the integration of differential equations by Means of Continued Fractions , "On integrating differential equations by continued fractions ".
this remarkable mathematics is remembered particularly his study of stochastic processes that bear his name: the Markov chains, sequences of random variables in which the future value is determined by the current variable but is independent of how the current status arose from its predecessors. This work laid the foundations for an entirely new branch of probability theory and promoted the theory of stochastic processes. Translated
