Selected Works III: Information Theory and the Theory of Algorithms (Springer Collected Works in Mathematics)

The Kolmogorov Collection is a comprehensive anthology of the groundbreaking works of Andrei N.

Kolmogorov, one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century.

This definitive edition includes his most important papers on mathematics and the natural sciences, carefully selected and compiled by the renowned mathematician himself. The collection spans three volumes, each dedicated to a different area of expertise: Volume 1 covers Kolmogorov's work in mathematics and classical mechanics, including his seminal papers on trigonometric and orthogonal series, measure and integral theory, and ergodic theory. Volume 2 focuses on probability theory and mathematical statistics, showcasing Kolmogorov's contributions to these fields, such as the development of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and the H-function. Volume 3 is dedicated to information theory and algorithms, featuring Kolmogorov's work on data compression, coding theory, and the foundations of computer science. With an foreword by a leading expert in the field, The Kolmogorov Collection is an essential resource for anyone interested in the works of this brilliant mathematician and his impact on modern mathematics and science.
