Arnold is renowned for his achievements in mathematics, and nearly
as famous for his informal teaching style, and for the clarity and
accessibility of his writing. The chapter headings convey Arnold 's
humor and restless imagination. A few examples: My first
recollections; The combinatorics of Plutarch; The topology of
surfaces according to Alexander of Macedon; Catching a pike in
Cambridge. Yesterday and Long Ago offers a rare opportunity to
appreciate the life and work of one of the world 's outstanding
living mathematicians.
