Stanislaw Marcin Ulam Categories Mathematicians From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Stanislaw Ulam April 13 May 13 ) was a Polish American mathematician Ulam was born in Lwów, Poland (then in Galicja , autonomous province of Austria-Hungary , now L'viv Ukraine ). His master in mathematics was Stefan Banach a great Polish mathematician, one of the moving spirits of the Lvov school of mathematics Ulam came to the US in as a Harvard Junior Fellow. When his fellowship was not renewed, he served on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin , and supported his brother, Adam, who had fled from Poland on the eve of World War. While there, in the midst of World War II , his friend John von Neumann invited him to a secret project in New Mexico . To research the invitation, Ulam checked out a book on New Mexico from the University Library, and found, listed on the library check-out card, those who had successively disappeared from the campus at the UW. Ulam then joined the Manhattan Project Stan Ulam is also important in the early history of nuclear weapons . It was Ulam who showed Edward Teller 's early model of the hydrogen bomb to be inadequate.

He also devised the 'Monte-Carlo method' widely used in solving mathematical problems using statistical sampling. At the age of ten, Ulam entered the gymnasium in Lvov and, about this time, he became interested first in astronomy and then in physics. An uncle gave Ulam a telescope when he was about 12 years old and later Ulam tried to understand Einstein 's special theory of relativity. However this required an understanding of mathematics and so, at age 14, he began to study mathematics from books, going well beyond the school level mathematics he was learning. Ulam said ([9] or [10]):- ... I was sixteen when I really learned calculus all by myself from a book by Kowalevski, a German not to be confused with Sonia Kovalevskaya Then I read also about set theory in a book by Sierpinski , and I think I understood that. We had a good professor in high school, Zawirski, who was a lecturer in logic at the university. I talked to him about it then and when I entered the Polytechnic Institute.

He received his Ph.D. in mathematics in 1933 at the Lvov Polytechnic Institute. He, along with his younger brother fled Poland in 1939. His friend, John von Neumann had secured a position at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton. The rest of Ulam's family was killed in the Holocaust. In 1943, Ulam was invited to join the Manhattan Project by Hans Bethe When President Truman announced that the United States was to develop a hydrogen bomb, Ulam began calculating whether Edward Teller's design would work. Ultimately, Ulam and a fellow mathematician Cornelius Everett concluded that Teller's model would never work. The results caused tensions between Ulam and Teller. A year later he accidentally came up with a new scheme that would prove to be a breakthrough. He remained at Los Alamos until 1965 when he was appointed to the chair of mathematics at the University of Colorado. He died in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on May 13, 1984.

Stanislaw Marcin Ulam aus Wikipedia, der freien Enzyklopädie (Weitergeleitet von Stanislaw Ulam 3. April in Lwów 13. Mai in Santa Fe ) war ein polnischer Mathematiker Stanislaw Ulams Mathematiklehrer war der große polnische Mathematiker Stefan Banach , einer der führenden Köpfe der Lemberger Schule der Mathematiker. Ulam ging als ein Harvard Junior Fellow in die USA . Als seine Stelle nicht verlängert wurde, arbeitete er an der Fakultät der University of Wisconsin und unterstützte seinen Bruder Adam, der am Vorabend des Zweiten Weltrieges aus Polen geflüchtet war. Während er dort arbeitete, in der Mitte des Weltkrieges, lud ihn sein Freund John von Neumann zu einem geheimen Projekt in New Mexico ein. Um mehr über New Mexico zu erfahren, lieh sich Ulam ein Buch über New Mexico aus der Universitätsbibliothek und fand auf dem Ausleihschein eine Liste von Leuten, die nach und nach vom Campus der University of Wisconsin verschwunden waren. Ulam wurde Mitarbeiter des Manhattan-Projektes Stan Ulam ist eine wichtige Person der frühen Geschichte der Nuklearwaffen. Er zeigte, dass Edward Tellers frühes Modell der Wasserstoffbombe unzulänglich war. Ulam begann, eine bessere Methode zu entwickeln. Er war der erste, der feststellte, dass man alle Komponenten einer H-Bombe in eine Hülle packen kann, eine Spaltbombe an das eine Ende und das thermonukleare Material an das andere, und dann die Schockwellen der Spaltbombe verwenden kann, um den Fusionsstoff zu komprimieren und detonieren zu lassen. Teller widersprach dieser Idee zuerst, erkannte dann aber ihre Vorzüge und schlug die Verwendung von Radioaktivität anstelle von Schockwellen vor. "Strahlungsimplosion" - wie die Methode dann genannt wurde - ist seither die Standardmethode für die Herstellung von Wasserstoffbomben.

Stanislaw M. Ulam (1909 - 1984) One night in 1946, Stanislaw Ulam, a young mathematics professor was overwhelmed by a violent headache. When he tried to talk he found he could produce nothing but a meaningless mumble. He was rushed to a hospital where the surgeon drilled a hole in his skull and found his brain in an acute state of inflammation. The doctors applied penicillin liberally and Ulam lapsed into a coma. The diagnosis was encephalitis. And Ulam's wife and friends worried that he would suffer permanent brain damage. But that was far from the case. The mathematician went on to produce some of his best work after his recovery. And, in fact, it was playing solitaire while convalescing, that Ulam first thought up the "Monte Carlo" method. Together with an old friend, mathematician John von Neumann, Ulam developed the procedure into an extremely useful calculating tool that enabled mathematicians to solve complicated problems by making approximations. It was put to almost immediate use by scientists working on nuclear weapons. Ulam had first come to the United States from Poland for a few months in 1935 at von Neumann's invitation to work at the Institute of Advanced Studies in Princeton. He left his homeland for good in 1939 with his 16-year-old brother Adam. His father and uncle saw them off. It was the last time the brothers ever saw either men. Along with the rest of the Ulam family, they became victims of Hitler's holocaust.

Appreciations Homepage Adam Ulam's Memoir Book Reviews ... About Stanislaw Ulam About Stanislaw Ulam At the beginning of his Adventures of a Mathematician (2d ed., Berkeley, 1991), Stan Ulam retrieves a very early memory: "When I was four, I remember jumping around on an oriental rug looking down at its intricate patterns. I remember my father's towering figure standing beside me, and I noticed that he smiled. I felt, 'He smiles because he thinks I am childish, but I know these are curious patterns.' I did not think in those very words, but I am pretty certain that it was not a thought that came to me later. I definitely felt, 'I know something my father does not know. Perhaps I know better than my father.'" This fascination carried him through a long life that reached across continents, oceans and universities; and that spanned the end of the last European empire, two world wars, and the age of nuclear weapons, which his genius helped make possible. In its notes accompanying its catalog of the archive of his papers, the American Philosophical Society summed up his achievements: "Stanislaw Ulam was a gifted mathematician who, during the course of his career, made significant contributions to set theory, topology, ergodic theory, probability, cellular automata theory, the study of nonlinear processes, the function of real variables, mathematical logic, and number theory. Perhaps his greatest achievement was the deveopment of the Monte Carlo method for solving complex mathematical problems by electronic random sampling, but he made equally noteworthy contributions in hydrodynamics (three-dimensionnal fluid flow), the development of nuclear propulsion for space flight (Project Orion), and in fields as disparate as physics, biology and astronomy. Yet despite the breadth of his scholarship, Ulam is most often remembered for the central role he played in the early development of the American hydrogen bomb."

Following his studies, Stan travelled through Europe, and later crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. In the U.S., he was a visting scholar at a number of institutions, including Princeton (where he met John von Neumann), Harvard, and the University Colorado. By the early 1940's, Stan had found a teaching position at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The outbreak of the second World War was to lead to a monumental change in Stan's life. Stan wanted to do something for the war effort in the U.S., and, through the help of von Neumann, was offered an opportunity somewhere west of the Mississippi. As exerpted from Stan's Adventures Johnny said that there was some very exciting work going on in which I could possibly be of good use; he still could not tell me where it was taking place, but he traveled rather often from Princeton to that location. I don't know why by pure chance or one of these incredible coincidences or prophetic insights? but I answered jokingly, "Well, as you know, Johnny, I don't know much about engineering or experimental physics, in fact I don't even know how the toilet flusher works, except that it is a sort of autocatalytic effect." At this I saw him wince and his expression become quizzical. Only later did I discover that indeed the word autocatalytic was used in connection with schemes for the construction of an atomic bomb.
