Stanislaw M. Ulam's contributions to theoretical biology (Q1072464): Difference between revisions

S. M. Ulam's contributions to theoretical biology are discussed under the sections: cellular automata theory, population biology, Fermi-Pasta-Ulam results and solitons, pattern recognition, biometric spaces. The references might have been supplemented by \textit{S. M. Ulam}'s Adventures of a mathematician (1976; Zbl 0352.01009), even though his own perception of events is not always accurate (one example is the development of branching processes in respect of the roles of Kolmogorov and M. Jiřina).
