Interesting reading
Some of the first ever computer simulation studies of polymers:
- F. T. Wall, L. A. Hiller Jr. and D. J. Wheeler "Statistical Computation of Mean Dimensions of Macromolecules. I", Journal of Chemical Physics 22 pp. 1036-1041 (1954)
- F. T. Wall and J. J. Erpenbeck "New Method for the Statistical Computation of Polymer Dimensions", Journal of Chemical Physics 30 pp. 634-637 (1959)
