A triumph of classical filmmaking for a modern audience, “Adventures of a Mathematician” revisits the Manhattan Project through scientific, ethical and Jewish lenses. Forgotten your calculus? Simple geometry is more than sufficient to follow the triangular saga of Polish Jewish brainiac Stanislaw Ulam: from the cloistered classrooms of Harvard to Robert Oppenheimer’s atomic-bomb “startup” in dusty New Mexico back to Lvov, Poland (where his parents, sister and niece live in tenuous safety until the Nazis blast across the border).

She died of complications of the coronavirus. Dr. Arianna Wright Rosenbluth in 2013. She helped create what has become one of the most important algorithms of all time. Credit.via Rosenbluth family Published Feb. 9, 2021Updated Feb. 15, 2021 The Metropolis algorithm, a technique for generating random samplings, started out as a way to understand a fundamental problem: how atoms rearrange themselves as solids melt. Over the decades, the Metropolis algorithm and its subsequent variations have been put to a vast number of uses and now serve as an underpinning to understanding critical challenges of our age, including making sense of huge volumes of data, predicting election outcomes and understanding Covid-19’s spread. ....
