A new & peculiar essay, on a (very!) unusual approach I've been using to deepen my understanding of mathematics: http://cognitivemedium.com/srs-mathematics

Is it possible that the Kolmogorov article you read was titled "The properties of inequalities and the concept of approximate calculations"? He wrote many pedagogical articles for grammar school level math. https://paperpile.com/shared/qCWYZi

I was reminded of "When is one thing equal to some other thing?" But this is by Barry Mazur rather than Kolmogorov and is from 2007.. http://www.math.harvard.edu/~mazur/preprints/when_is_one.pdf …

A quick glance suggests that's a really good essay, thanks!

It has many nuggets. Kolmogorov didn't like the competitive aspects of olympiad contests because so many important mathematical results require "deep contemplation".
