Andrei Toom

Andrei Toom

Andrei Toom, also known as André Toom, (born 1942) is a Russian mathematician currently living in Brazil, famous for his early work in analysis of algorithms (culminating in the Toom–Cook algorithm), cellular automata, probability theory and lifelong interest in mathematical education. Currently, Toom is a teacher of the statistics department at Federal University of Pernambuco.

Toom's English-language mathematics articles, published in journals such as the Journal of Statistical Physics, include "Non-Ergodic Multidimensional Systems of Automata," "Discrete Local Markov Systems," "On Critical Phenomena in Interacting Growth Systems," "," "Simple 1-Dimensional Systems with Super-Exponential Relaxation Time," "Tails in Harnesses," "On Percolation with Fibers or Layers," and "Non-Gibbsianness of the invariant measures of non-reversible cellular automata with totally asymmetric noise".

His English-language articles on education include "A Russian Teacher in America," "From Russia with Math," "How I Teach Word Problems," "Word problems: Applications vs. Mental Manipulatives," "Between Childhood and Mathematics: Word Problems in Mathematical Education," and the unpublished manuscript, "Wars in American Mathematical Education".
