Ulam in a sentence

He was married to Leonina Caro Ulam, after meeting her while working for her husband, architect Michael Ulam, as a secretary.

Because Ulam had often mentioned his uncle, Michał Ulam, "who just had to go to Monte Carlo" to gamble, Metropolis dubbed the statistical approach "The Monte Carlo method ".

Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem main When Ulam returned to Los Alamos, his attention turned away from weapon design and toward the use of computers to investigate problems in physics and mathematics.

Florida's Department of Mathematics has sponsored, since 1998, the annual Ulam Colloquium Lecture, and in March 2009, the Ulam Centennial Conference.

A few weeks later, Ulam received a letter from Hans Bethe, inviting him to join the project.

After moving to Sarov in 1950, Sakharov played a key role in the development of the first megaton-range Soviet hydrogen bomb using a design known as Sakharov's Third Idea in Russia and the Teller-Ulam design in the United States.

Although Teller and Ulam submitted a joint report on their design and jointly applied for a patent on it, they soon became involved in a dispute over who deserved credit.

Bradbury appointed Ulam and John H. Manley as research advisors to the laboratory director in 1957.

Burgess's interest in language was reflected in the invented, Anglo-Russian teen slang of A Clockwork Orange ( Nadsat ), and in the movie Quest for Fire (1981), for which he invented a prehistoric language (Ulam) for the characters.

Earlier, while playing solitaire during his recovery from surgery, Ulam had thought about playing hundreds of games to estimate statistically the probability of a successful outcome.

Fermi and Ulam formed a relationship that became very fruitful after the war.

For the sake of history, I think it is more precise to say that Ulam is the father, because he provided the seed, and Teller is the mother, because he remained with the child.

He realized that the symmetry and speed with which implosion compressed the plutonium were critical issues, and enlisted Ulam to help design lens configurations that would provide nearly spherical implosion.

His uncle, Michał Ulam, was an architect, building contractor, and lumber industrialist.

However, in 1951 Teller and Ulam made a breakthrough, and invented a new design, proposed in a classified March 1951 paper, On Heterocatalytic Detonations I: Hydrodynamic Lenses and Radiation Mirrors, for a practical megaton-range H-bomb.

Hydrodynamical calculations of implosion A few weeks after Ulam reached Los Alamos in February 1944, the project experienced a crisis.

Impact and legacy From the publication of his first paper as a student in 1929 until his death, Ulam was constantly writing on mathematics.

In addition to these activities, Ulam continued to publish technical reports and research papers.

In December of that year, Ulam sailed to America.

In January 1951, Ulam had another idea: to channel the mechanical shock of a nuclear explosion so as to compress the fusion fuel.
