How to pronounce “nekrasov” in English

So Nekrasov reasoned that because these statistics followed the law of large numbers, the decisions causing them must be independent.

So he publicly criticized Nekrasov's work, listing it among "the abuses of mathematics."

And when Nekrasov looked at other social statistics like crime rates and birth rates, he noticed a similar pattern.

And to beat Nekrasov, all he needed to do now was show that these letters still followed the law of large numbers.

Markov had shattered Nekrasov's argument, and he knew it.

And this was the idea that sparked Nekrasov and Markov's feud.

- On the side of the Tsar was Pavel Nekrasov, unofficially called the Tsar of Probability.

See, Nekrasov agreed with Bernoulli that you need independence to get the law of large numbers.

- But to Markov, Nekrasov was delusional.

But all the evidence suggests that it really was this determination to show up Nekrasov that led Markov to do the work.

Markov was an atheist and he had no patience for people who were being unrigorous, something he considered Nekrasov to be, because in his eyes,

It was first proven by Jacob Bernoulli in 1713, and it was the key concept at the heart of probability theory right up until Markov and Nekrasov.

Do people think it was like a mic drop moment and like, "Oh, Nekrasov's out, like, Markov's the man"?
