- He extended foundational results, such as the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem, to sequences of dependent random variables, laying the groundwork for what would become known as Markov chains.
- To illustrate his methods, he analyzed the distribution of vowels and consonants in Alexander Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, treating letters purely as abstract categories and stripping away any poetic or semantic content.
- He was also a strong chess player.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Andrey Markov article was read about 68,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 57 and blocks with 28: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
