Synopsis
The Praesidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences has decided to publish three volumes of Selected Works of A.N. Kolmogorov, one of the most prominent mathematicians of the 20th century. The creative work of A.N. Kolmogorov is exceptionally versatile. In his studies on trigonometric and orthogonal series, theory of measure and inte- gral, mathematical logic, approximation theory, geometry, topology, functional analysis, classical mechanics, ergodic theory, superposition of functions, and in- formation theory, many conceptual and fundamental problems were solved and new questions were posed which gave rise to a great number of investigations. A.N. Kolmogorov is one of the founders of the Soviet school of probability theory, mathematical statistics, and the theory of turbulence. In these areas he obtained a number of basic results, with many applications to mechanics, geophysics, linguistics, biology and other branches of knowledge. This edition includes the most important papers by A.N. Kolmogorov on mathematics and natural science. It does not include philosophical and ped- agogical studies of A.N. Kolmogorov, his articles written for the "Bol'shaya Sov'etskaya Entsiklopediya", papers on prosody and various applications of mathematics and publications on general questions. The material of this edition was selected and grouped by A.N. Kolmogorov.

From the Back Cover
The creative work of Andrei N. Kolmogorov is exceptionally wide-ranging. In his studies on trigonometric and orthogonal series, the theory of measure and integral, mathematical logic, approximation theory, geometry, topology, functional analysis, classical mechanics, ergodic theory, superposition of functions, and in formation theory, he solved many conceptual and fundamental problems and posed new questions which gave rise to a great deal of further research. Kolmogorov is one of the founders of the Soviet school of probability theory, mathematical statistics, and the theory of turbulence. In these areas he obtained a number of central results, with many applications to mechanics, geophysics, linguistics and biology, among other subjects. This edition includes Kolmogorov's most important papers on mathematics and the natural sciences. It does not include his philosophical and pedagogical studies, his articles written for the "Bolshaya Sovetskaya Entsiklopediya", his papers on prosody and applications of mathematics or his publications on general questions. The material of this edition was selected and compiled by Kolmogorov himself.
The first volume consists of papers on mathematics and also on turbulence and classical mechanics. The second volume is devoted to probability theory and mathematical statistics. The focus of the third volume is on information theory and the theory of algorithms.
Synopsis
This volume is the first of three volumes devoted to the work of one of the most prominent twentieth-century mathematicians. Throughout his mathematical work, A.N. Kolmogorov (1903-1987) showed great creativity and versatility. The first volume contains papers in mathematics (excluding probability theory and information theory, which are the subjec
