Abstract

The contribution of Kolmogorov to classical mechanics is illustrated through the famous Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theorem. This theorem solves a longstanding problem regarding stability in non-linear Hamiltonian dynamics. Various concepts required to understand the KAM theorem are also developed.
