caption_attribution_description: English: THE KREMLIN, MOSCOW. A national award has been awarded to chief researcher of the Department of Geometry and Topology of the V.A. Steklov Mathematical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Arnold for his outstanding contribution to the development of mathematics. Русский: МОСКВА, КРЕМЛЬ. С главным научным сотрудником отдела геометрии и топологии Математического института имени В.А.Стеклова Владимиром Арнольдом – лауреатом Государственной премии Российской Федерации за выдающийся вклад в развитие математики.
context_page_description: Vladimir Igorevich Arnold was a Soviet and Russian mathematician. While he is best known for the Kolmogorov–Arnold–Moser theorem regarding the stability of integrable systems, he made important contributions in several areas including dynamical systems theory, algebra, catastrophe theory, topology, algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, differential equations, classical mechanics, hydrodynamics and singularity theory, including posing the ADE classification problem, since his first main result—the solution of Hilbert's thirteenth problem in 1957 at the age of 19. He co-founded two new branches of mathematics—KAM theory, and topological Galois theory.
  Arnold was also known as a popularizer of mathematics. Through his lectures, seminars, and as the author of several textbooks and popular mathematics books, he influenced many mathematicians and physicists. Many of his books were translated into English. His views on education were particularly opposed to those of Bourbaki.
