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). -------
