Abstract

New ideas in mathematics, even when they are seemingly insignificant or impractical, can have unforeseen and important consequences that may not become apparent at the time they were suggested and occasionally not even for several decades. One such idea was proposed by the gifted Russian mathematician, A. A. Markov (1856-1922) at the beginning of the 20th century (e.g., Markov, 1907). Radically innovative for that time, it advanced substantially 19th-century works on probability theory by generalizing various limit laws established for independent random variables (e.g., the law of large numbers) to dependent ones.
