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.

Ulam, Stanislaw Marcin Polish-born US mathematician. He was a member of the Manhattan Project, which produced the first atom bomb, 1943-45, and from 1946 collaborated with Edward Teller on the design of the hydrogen bomb, solving the problem of how to ignite the bomb. All previous designs had collapsed. Ulam was born and educated in Lvov (now in Ukraine). On the invitation of mathematician John Von Neumann , he emigrated to the USA 1936 and joined the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.

Ulam Papers (36 linear feet) Ms. Coll. 54 American Philosophical Society 105 South Fifth Street * Philadelphia, PA 19106-3386 Table of contents Abstract A gifted mathematician, Polish-born Stanislaw Ulam made contributions to set theory, topology, mathematical logic, and number theory, but is most widely remembered for his work in fostering the technical development of thermonuclear weapons. He was associated with Los Alamos Scientific Laboratories for most of the years between 1943 and 1965, and thereafter with the University of Colorado. These papers include personal and professional correspondence, manuscripts of both published and unpublished works, and memorabilia.

Perhaps his greatest achievement was the development of the Monte Carlo method for solving complex mathematical problems by electronic random sampling, but he made equally noteworthy contributions in hydrodynamics (three-dimensional 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.

Stanislaw Marcin Ulam Categories Mathematicians From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. 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.
