Andrei Kolmogorov, Soviet mathematician
Andrei Kolmogorov (1903-1987), Soviet mathematician. Kolmogorov is widely considered one of the most prominent mathematicians of the 20th century. He made major advances in different scientific fields, including probability theory, topology (a type of geometry), turbulence, and classical mechanics. There are several theories, equations and laws in these fields named after Kolmogorov; from the Kolmogorov axioms in probability theory to the Kolmogorov space in topology. In 1931, two years after finishing his PhD at Moscow State University, he became a professor there. Later, he was head of the departments of probability, mathematical logic and statistics at the university. He also became dean of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Soviet mathematician, Andrei Kolmogorov. Born in 1903 and passing away in 1987, Kolmogorov is hailed as one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century. His groundbreaking contributions spanned various scientific disciplines, including probability theory, topology, turbulence, and classical mechanics. Throughout his illustrious career, Kolmogorov's name became synonymous with numerous theories, equations, and laws that revolutionized these fields. From the renowned Kolmogorov axioms in probability theory to the innovative concept of a Kolmogorov space in topology – his impact on mathematics cannot be overstated. In this evocative portrait taken in Moscow during 1972 when he was sixty-nine years old, we see a distinguished man engrossed in his work. As dean of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics at Moscow State University and head of multiple departments within the university system, Kolmogorov played an instrumental role in shaping future generations of mathematicians. His legacy extends far beyond academia; it permeates into our everyday lives through technological advancements rooted in his research. This photograph captures not only a brilliant mind but also a symbol of dedication to scientific exploration. Science Photo Library proudly presents this remarkable image as a testament to Andrei Kolmogorov's extraordinary achievements and lasting influence on mathematics and mechanics.
