I'm also amazed to discover that V.I. Arnold is still alive! His work has been important for so long that I simply assumed he (like Landau & Lifshitz) belonged to an earlier time. I'm delighted to discover I'm wrong.

- mhartl 17y agoThanks! But this is just too tantalizing: Editor’s Note: As this article went to press, V. I. Arnol′d submitted an update on the interview, based on subsequent correspondence and events. It was received too late to be included in the article. Will we ever know what the updated interview would have been? (Maybe I should email Arnol'd to find out. :-)
