The first notion of a higher symmetry in the isospin group code named SU2 "was first mentioned in my paper published in the autumn of 1953. That concept has been central to particle physics ever since. So has the idea of 'a hierarchy of interactions corresponding to the symmetry classes of the intrinsic variables'. Strong interactions have the highest symmetry electromagnetic ones a lower one weak ones a still lower one." Pais A tale of two continents p. 304. Physica, XIX, 1953.

The Father of Linear Programming and the Inventor of the "Simplex Method" "Dantzig's paper originally written in 1947 but not published until 1951 was a fundamental application of computers to problems of management and economics. Dantzig was one of three founders together with John von Neumann and Leonid Kantorovich of linear programming a mathematical method used for the optimum allocation of scarce resources among competing activities. In 1947 Dantzig discovered that many such allocation problems could be formulated as linear computer problems. He also devised an algorithm known as the simplex method which allowed these programs to be performed on a large scale and applied to real-world problems. An algorithm of tremendous power the simplex method remains a major part of most operations research applications." Hook Norman & Williams. <br /><br /> "In Washington . . . he became a mathematical advisor at the Defense Department charged with mechanizing the planning process. Based partly on his earlier work with aircraft supply flow he worked out the simplex algorithm." Washington Post.

In 1955 Oreste Piccioni was a staff member at Brookhaven National Laboratory. This paper reports on a collaboration between Pais and Piccioni that dealt with "bizarre manifestations of the mixing of Ko and Ko" specifically the fate of a freshly created Ko-beam. Their result was "a regeneration of K1 . . . manifested by the reappearance of the decay K1 2p. This prediction which has become known as the Pais-Piccioni effect was verified a few years later. . . Feyman has called these predictions 'one of the greatest achievements of theoretical physics. It is not based on an elegant hocus-pocus . . . yet the predictions are just as important as say the prediction of the positron.' It is certainly the best physics I have done in my whole life."
