Doob's inequality for discrete-time martingales implies Kolmogorov's inequality: if X1, X2, ... is a sequence of real-valued independent random variables, each with mean zero, it is clear that
so Mn = X1 + ... + Xn is a martingale. Note that Jensen's inequality implies that is a nonnegative submartingale if is a martingale. Hence, taking p = 2 in Doob's martingale inequality,
which is precisely the statement of Kolmogorov's inequality.

“Just as a new scientific discovery manifests something that was already latent in the order of nature, and at the same time is logically related to the total structure of the existing science, so the new poem manifests something that was already latent in the order of words.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“The only inequalities that matter begin in the mind. It is not income levels but differences in mental equipment that keep people apart, breed feelings of inferiority.”
