The Monte Carlo method has since been used extensively and successfully in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle space-shuttle] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_entry re-entry] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerodynamics aerodynamics], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_research operations research], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_chemistry physical chemistry], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration numerical integration], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finance finance] and many more, in addition to physics.

Stan was a theoretical mathematician, but excelled also in applied math, physics and biology, and was involved with the early 6 x 6 computer chess program. Above all, he was extraordinarily original.
