前苏联数学家柯尔莫哥洛夫(A. N. Kolmogorov)的一些学生也非常厉害。我在下面的帖子中就提到了他的两个学生A. S. Monin和V. I. Arnold的一些工作:

V. I. Arnold应该是近代世界知名数学家。我在上帖子的53楼中提到,柯尔莫哥洛夫对概率论的贡献就相当于柯西对微积分的贡献那样,都是对整个领域奠定基础性质的:

Although I. Newton and G. Leibniz invented the calculus, the calculus they invented was only a tool for people to use or play with it. It did not form a rigorous and self-consistent theory like Euclid geometry that had a well-defined or a logical foundation. Many people tried very hard to lay a rigorous foundation for the calculus and it was Cauchy who finally succeeded.
Likewise, A. N. Kolmogorov in 1933 laid a rigorous foundation for the probability theory based on an axiomatic approach that is similar to Euclid geometry. The classic book in the field of probability was:
Kolmogorov, A. N., 1956: Foundations of the Theory of Probability. Second English Edition. Chelsea Pub. Comp., New York, 84 pp.
