This subcategory contains 9 links From Math Archives Ancient to modern Small site Updated regularly From New Mexico State University A GATEWAY TO MODERN MATHEMATICS "Did you know that the developers of the atomic bomb; the holograph; moon rover; Model T Ford; and the fathers of binary code, BASIC and computer programming; nuclear engineering; the California wine industry; the U.S. Cavalry; full-length motion pictures; and of the U.S. aerospace industry are all Hungarian-Americans? And what about Joseph Pulitzer, of "Pulitzer Prize" fame? He was responsible for raising the funds needed to erect the Statue of Liberty. The statue sat disassembled, with New York refusing to pay for construction. Pulitzer's idea was to place the name of anyone giving a donation for the project in his newspaper - now that's snob appeal! And can you believe there was a Hungarian King of Madagascar?" Honoring the close connection between mathematics and computing, TAP provides information on pioneers in both areas. Biographies are among the features of this site |
