520 _aThe editorial board for the History of Mathematics series has selected for this volume a series of translations from two Russian publications, Kolmogorov in Remembrance and Mathematics and its Historical Development. This book, Kolmogorov in Perspective, includes articles written by Kolmogorov's students and colleagues and his personal accounts of shared experiences and lifelong mathematical friendships. Specifically, the article, ``Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov. A Biographical Sketch of His Life and Creative Paths'' by A. N. Shiryaev, gives an excellent personal and scientific biography of Kolmogorov. The volume also includes the following articles: ``On A. N. Kolmogorov'' by V. I. Arnol'd, ``In Memory of A. N.
