* [http://purl.umn.edu/107493 Oral history interview with Nicholas C. Metropolis], Conducted by [[William Aspray]] at [[Charles Babbage Institute]], University of Minnesota.  Metropolis, the first director of computing services at [[Los Alamos National Laboratory]], discusses [[John von Neumann]]'s work in computing. Most of the interview concerns activity at Los Alamos: how von Neumann came to consult at the laboratory; his scientific contacts there, including Metropolis, [[Robert Richtmyer]], and [[Edward Teller]]; von Neumann's first hands-on experience with punched card equipment; his contributions to shock-fitting and the implosion problem; interactions between and comparisons of von Neumann and [[Enrico Fermi]]; and the development of [[Monte Carlo method|Monte Carlo techniques]]. Other topics include: the relationship between [[Alan Turing]] and von Neumann; work on numerical methods for non-linear problems; and the [[ENIAC]] calculations done for Los Alamos.
