SES 99-11203 - Anne C. Fitzpatrick (George Washington University) "War by Numbers: Computers, Nuclear Weapons, and the Arms Race"This project embodies a comparative history of computing in the American and former Soviet nuclear weapons programs. This award supports travel to and research at several scientific institutions and archives through-out North America, Russia, Ukraine, and Armenia, as well as interviews with numerous participants in the nuclear weap-ons communities. This research will provide the scholarly basis for a book that will be published by a university press. This study will greatly enhance public understanding of the role of technology in the nuclear arms race, and in science and society.

SES 99-11203-Anne C.Fitzpatrick(乔治华盛顿大学)《数字战争：计算机、核武器和军备竞赛》这个项目体现了美国和前苏联核武器计划中计算的比较历史。该奖项支持前往北美、俄罗斯、乌克兰和亚美尼亚的几个科学机构和档案馆进行旅行和研究，以及采访核网络社区的许多参与者。这项研究将为即将由大学出版社出版的一本书提供学术基础。这项研究将极大地提高公众对技术在核军备竞赛中以及在科学和社会中的作用的理解。
