Subject: The death of A.N. Kolmogorov.
I just learned that in Moscow died Andrei Nikolayevich Kolmogorov - a
great mathematician who also made crucial contributions to Theoretical
Computer Science, Probability and Statistics, Information Theory and
other fields. He also was one of those rare people whose personal
integrity influenced ethical and human standards to the extent possible
under the difficult conditions of a totalitarian state.
Any telegrams from organizations and persons who appreciated the
contributions of A.N. Kolmogorov will be gratefully received. They may
be directed to Moscow University, The Academy of Sciences of the
U.S.S.R. and the widow Anna Dmitriyevna Kolmogorov (117234, Moscow,
Moscow University, korpus (building) L, apartment 10, USSR).
