War By Numbers: Computers, Nuclear Weapons, and the Arms Race

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研究，并采访许多核武器界的参与者。这项研究将为一本即将由大学出版社出版的书提供学术基础。这项研究将大大提高公众对技术在核军备竞赛、科学和社会中的作用的理解。

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.
