Stanislaw Ulam at MANIAC panel during a Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory open day. At left is his daughter Claire. The control panel is for the MANIAC (Mathematical Analyzer, Numerator, Integrator and Computer) computing machine used by Polish-US mathematician Stanislaw Marcin Ulam (1909-1985) and his colleagues to study chaos theory. Ulam worked here as part of the Manhattan Project during World War II. Ulam's only child and daughter Claire was born in 1944, a year after Ulam had been recruited to the Manhattan Project. Photographed in 1955, at what is now the Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico, USA.
