Pedro is the author of MARC, the first nonlinear finite-element code, long since acquired by MSC. Now, at age 80, Dr. Marcal continues to write Python scripts to apply optimization techniques to his own nonlinear FE solvers for composite materials. Go is a Chinese game that has been played for thousands of years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game). It involves placing tokens on a board.
