My father was the grand-grad student of Kolmogorov. He (Kolmogorov) is a very impressive mathematician. My father's advisor, Yakov Sinai, is equally impressive and arguably one of the founders of Dynamical Systems, a very interesting subfield of mathematics (and, in some ways, probability theory) in its own right.
- dev1n 13y agoDo you mean Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy? I just read about this in Chaos Theory Tamed by Garnett P. Williams. Really interesting stuff with respect to information theory in dynamical systems.
