Paul+Stein

an American physicist and mathematician, and staff member at Los Alamos National Laboratory since 1950, working on problems that range from [|mathematical biology] to [|nonlinear transformations] and [|experimental number theory]. In the late 1950s, along with [|Mary Menzel] and Stanislaw Ulam, Paul Stein performed one of the earliest digital simulations of [|discrete dynamics] in two-dimensions. In their work they created a robot mathematician to scan the results of simulations for [|chaotic attractors].

Paul Stein was member of a group of H-bomb researchers around Stanislaw Ulam, Mark Wells and John Pasta et al., who wrote the chess-playing program for the [|MANIAC I] in 1956. It played [|Los Alamos chess] on a 6×6 board without bishops. toc =Photos=
