Mary Tsingou-Menzel was an American physicist and mathematician of Greek-Bulgarian descent. She was one of the first programmers on the MANIAC computer at Los Alamos National Laboratory and is best known for programming the simulations for the celebrated computer experiment with Enrico Fermi, John Pasta, and Stanisław Ulam. This experiment became an inspiration for the fields of chaos theory and scientific computing, and was a turning point in soliton theory.
