He worked early in his career on intuitionistic logic, and Fourier series. He also worked on turbulence, and classical mechanics; and was a founder of algorithmic complexity theory. Kolmogorov worked at Moscow State University. He studied under Nikolai Luzin, earning his Ph.D. in 1925, in 1931 he became the professor of the university. In 1939 he received the title of academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Quote:

"The theory of probability as mathematical discipline can and should be developed from axioms in exactly the same way as Geometry and Algebra."
