Wives[edit]

What I've always wondered is why Teller & Rosenbluth's wives are listed as coauthors (Augusta H. Teller & Arianna W. Rosenbluth ). Did they contribute substantively or more in regards to typesetting / writing , etc? This would be a great addition to the article. Danski14^(talk) 21:29, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The wives were the computer programmers. Rosenbluth told me once that the computers of the time were extremely difficult to program and that Arianna was an expert. While some early computer work was started by Mici Teller, Arianna rewrote the code from scratch after Marshall developed the algorithm. I worked with Marshall right up until he died and in 2003.
