Andrey Nikolaevich Kolmogorov (April 25, 1903 - October 20, 1987) was a Soviet mathematician born in Tambov, Russia, who died in Moscow. He is most renowned for establishing the axiomatic foundations of probability theory: his landmark 1933 publication, Foundations of the Theory of Probability, laid the modern axiomatic foundations of the field and secured his position as its preeminent authority. He also made substantial advances in topology, intuitionistic logic, the study of turbulence, classical mechanics, functional analysis, and algorithmic information theory, developing what became known as Kolmogorov complexity theory and co-creating the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theorem in classical mechanics. Numerous mathematical concepts, equations, and theorems bear his name, reflecting the breadth of his contributions to twentieth-century mathematics.

The works of Vladimir Arnold and Andrey Kolmogorov established that if f is a multivariate continuous function, then f can be written as a finite composition of continuous functions of a single variable and the binary operation of addition.
