Andrey Kolmogorov (1903–1987) was a prominent Russian mathematician who made significant contributions to various fields, including probability theory, mathematical logic, and turbulence. He is best known for formulating the modern axiomatic approach to probability, which established a rigorous foundation for the field. His work laid the groundwork for both theoretical and applied probability.
