Analogies Between Analogies - The Mathematical Reports of S.m. Ulam and His Los Alamos Collaborators

"Most of the ideas presented retain their importance today, and . . . are absolutely fundmental, both from a historical and from a scientific viewpoint." —Gian-Carlo Rota, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

About the author

S. M. Ulam (1909-1984), a key member of the now legendary Polish School of Mathematics, came to the United States in 1935. After work at Princeton, Harvard, and the University of Wisconsin, he joined the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos in 1944. In addition to his articles, essays, and books of mathematical studies, Ulam published an autobiography, Adventures of a Mathematician.
