In case you are looking for the essay on the = sign, this is what Google Bard said:

The reference to the essay by Andrey Kolmogorov in the paragraph you provided is:

Kolmogorov, A. N. (1930). О понятии числа [On the concept of number]. Matematicheskiy sbornik, 38(3), 3-19.

This essay is in Russian, but an English translation is available in the book "Selected works of A. N. Kolmogorov, Volume I: Mathematics and mechanics" (1991).




Do you think it's true? I got my hands on the pdf see no trace of it in table of contents or text searches.


Could it be the author isn't Kolmogorov, but Kronecker?


A good question. I've found Bard to be quite good at this type of question in the past but maybe it has hallucinated the answer!


  > Perhaps it is the article On Sense and Reference by Gottlob Frege?

ChatGPT thinks it might be Paul Lockhart's essay, titled "A Mathematician's Lament".
