Modeling Particles in Atomic Bombs
Linear Digressions - A podcast by Ben Jaffe and Katie Malone
Categories:
In a fun historical journey, Katie and Ben explore the history of the Manhattan Project, discuss the difficulties in modeling particle movement in atomic bombs with only punch-card computers and ingenuity, and eventually come to present-day uses of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm... mentioning Solitaire along the way.
