| 1913 || Discovery || Markov Chains || [[wikipedia:Andrey Markov|Andrey Markov]] first describes techniques he used to analyse a poem. The techniques later become known as [[wikipedia:Markov chains|Markov chains]].<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Hayes|first1=Brian|title=First Links in the Markov Chain|url=http://www.americanscientist.org/issues/pub/first-links-in-the-markov-chain/|accessdate=15 June 2016|work=American Scientist|issue=March–April 2013|publisher=Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society|page=92|doi=10.1511/2013.101.1|quote=Delving into the text of Alexander Pushkin’s novel in verse Eugene Onegin, Markov spent hours sifting through patterns of vowels and consonants. On January 23, 1913, he summarized his findings in an address to the Imperial Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. His analysis did not alter the understanding or appreciation of Pushkin’s poem, but the technique he developed—now known as a Markov chain—extended the theory of probability in a new direction.}}</ref>
