	Stanislaw Marcin Ulam - Wikipedia
		Stanisław Marcin Ulam (13 april 1909–13 mei 1984) was een Pools-Amerikaans wiskundige die een belangrijke rol speelde bij het ontwikkelen van de theorie achter de waterstofbom.
		Ulam werd geboren in Lwów, een stad in Galicië, in Oost-Europa (Lwów wordt nu aangeduid als Lviv en ligt in de Oekraïne, maar toen Ulam geboren werd, werd deze stad ook Lemberg genoemd en lag zij in een autonome provincie van Oostenrijk-Hongarije en in 1918 kwam zij aan Polen).
		Ulam vond ook de kernpulsvoortstuwing uit en beweerde aan het eind van zijn leven dat dit de uitvinding was waar hij het meest trots op was.

		Stanislaw Marcin Ulam (April 13, 1909 - May 13, 1984) was a Polish-American mathematician.
		He was the first one to realize that you could place all the of H-bomb's components inside one casing, put a fission bomb at one end and thermonuclear material at the other, and use shock waves from the fisson bomb to compress and detonate a fusion fuel.
		Ulam also invented nuclear pulse propulsion, and at the end of his life, declared it the invention of which he was most proud.

	Ulam spiral
		The Ulam spiral, or prime spiral (in other languages also called Ulam cloth) is a simple method of graphing the prime numbers that reveals a pattern which has never been fully explained.
		It was discovered by the mathematician Stanislaw Marcin Ulam in 1963, while doodling on scratch paper at a scientific meeting.
		This was so significant, that the Ulam spiral appeared on the cover of Scientific American in March 1964.

		Stanislaw Ulam was 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.
		Ulam's convalescence required a leave of absence from USC, during which he was invited to attend a secret conference at LASL in April, 1946, to discuss the development of Teller's thermonuclear bomb.
		Ulam's work at LASL constitutes another area of surprising weakness: in some cases, the name of a correspondent associated with the laboratory suggests that valuable technical information on the development of nuclear weapons is available in their file.

		His master in mathematics was Stefan Banach, a great Polish mathematician, one of the moving spirits of the Lwów School of Mathematics.
		While there, he suggested the Monte Carlo Method for evaluating complicated mathematical integrals that arise in the theory of nuclear chain reactions (not knowing that Fermi and others had used the method earlier).

		Stanislaw Marcin Ulam was one of the many gifted scientists involved in the effort to create a hydrogen bomb at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico in the 1950s.
		Ulam, the son of a lawyer, was born in Lemberg, Poland, in the Austrian Empire (now Lvov, Ukraine) on April 13, 1909.
		Working with physicist Edward Teller, Ulam was credited with making huge progress toward creating a "superbomb" by suggesting that compression was the key element necessary for explosion and that the shock waves from an atomic (fission) bomb could produce that compression.

		Working with physicist Edward Teller, Ulam solved one major problem encountered in work on the fusion bomb by suggesting that compression was essential to explosion and that shock waves from a fission bomb could produce the compression needed.
		Ulam's work at Los Alamos had begun with his development (in collaboration with von Neumann) of the Monte Carlo method, a technique for finding approximate solutions to problems by means of artificial sampling.
		Ulam also improved the flexibility and general utility of computers and wrote a number of papers and books on aspects of mathematics.
