question 

  Is this for real? 
I did find :
Andrei A Markov was a graduate of Saint Petersburg University (1878), where he
began a professor in 1886. Markov's early work was mainly in number theory and
analysis, continued fractions, limits of integrals, approximation theory and the
convergence of series.

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. He proved the central limit theorem under fairly
general assumptions.

Markov is particularly remembered for his study of Markov chains, sequences of
random variables in which the future variable is determined by the present
variable but is independent of the way in which the present state arose from its
predecessors. This work launched the theory of stochastic processes.

In 1923 Norbert Wiener became the first to treat rigorously a continuous Markov
process.
