ARNOLD: Swimming Against the Tide
Share this pageEdited by Boris A. Khesin; Serge L. Tabachnikov
Vladimir Arnold, an eminent mathematician of our time, is known both
for his mathematical results, which are many and prominent, and for
his strong opinions, often expressed in an uncompromising and
provoking manner. His dictum that “Mathematics is a part of physics
where experiments are cheap” is well known.
This book consists of two parts: selected articles by and an
interview with Vladimir Arnold, and a collection of articles about him
written by his friends, colleagues, and students. The book is
generously illustrated by a large collection of photographs, some
never before published. The book presents many a facet of this
extraordinary mathematician and man, from his mathematical discoveries
to his daredevil outdoor adventures.
Readership
Mathematicians of all levels: teachers, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, and other scientists interested in the recent history and ideology of mathematics.
