Abstract
This article contains recollections of the authors when they interacted with Ken Wilson at Princeton in 1971, when he gave his lectures on the renormalization group and the \(\varepsilon \)-expansion, and at Edinburgh in the early 1980s, working on Monte Carlo renormalization group calculations of critical behaviour in the three-dimensional Ising model. Edouard Brezin was a collaborator in the former work, and Robert Swendsen in the latter. Ken’s vision for scientific computing impacted formatively on the development of Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre. Reference is also made to an earlier visit to Scotland by Ken, to lecture at the Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics in 1973.
