- wirrbel 11mo agois that like a Landau Lifshitz for Math?
- nextos 11mo agoNo, it's just a gentle overview.
- rramadass 11mo agoIt is very good and has a succinct coverage of a broad range of topics from Mathematics; just the right understandable level of rigor without being overwhelming. Published by Dover Publications and hence quite affordable. See ToC at https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486409160 https://store.doverpublications.com/products/9780486409160
- lioeters 11mo ago> A.N. Kolomogorov That wouldn't be who Kolmogorov complexity is named after? ("The Kolmogorov complexity of an object, such as a piece of text, is the length of a shortest computer program that produces the object as output.") ..Oh it is the same mathematician, Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov. I see he was a major figure with many other concepts, equations and theorems named after him.
