Stanislaw Ulam. (1909 - 1984) Stanislaw Marcin Ulam was born in Lvov, Austria-Hungary (now Ukraine). He was part of the city's Polish majority. His mentor in mathematics was Stefan Banach, a great Polish mathematician, one of the moving spirits of the Lvov School of Mathematics.
Stanislaw Ulam (1909-1984) was a Polish-American mathematician. Ulam was born in 1909 in Lvov, Austria-Hungary (present-day Ukraine). He received a masters and a Ph.D. from the Lvov Polytechnic Institute.
A brilliant mathematician. He wrote many of the pages comprising the Scottish Book – a notebook containing mathematical puzzles put forward by members of the Lviv School of Mathematics – but was still amazed by the fact that ‘a few signs which were written on a board or a sheet of paper can change the course of human history’.
Stanisław Marcin Ulam was a Polish mathematician, nuclear physicist and computer scientist. He participated in the Manhattan Project, originated the Teller–Ulam design of thermonuclear weapons, discovered the concept of the cellular automaton, invented the Monte Carlo method of computation, and suggested nuclear pulse propulsion.
Stanisław Marcin Ulam (April 13, 1909 – May 13, 1984) was a Polish mathematician who took part in the Manhattan Project and proposed the design used for most thermonuclear weapons. He also proposed using nuclear explosions to propel rockets, and he developed several mathematical tools in number theory , set theory , ergodic theory and ...
