John von Neumann spoke five languages and knew dirty limericks in all of them. His colleagues, famous thinkers in their own right, all agreed that the operations of Johnny's mind were too deep and far too fast to be entirely human. He was one of history's most brilliant physicists, logicians, and mathematicians, as well as the software genius who invented the first electronic digital computer. John von Neumann was the center of the group who created the "stored program" concept that made truly powerful computers possible, and he specified a template that is still used to design almost all computersthe "von Neumann architecture." When he died, the Secretaries of Defense , the Army, Air Force, and Navy and the Joint Chiefs of staff were all gathered around his bed, attentive to his last gasps of technical and policy advice. -_Tools For Thought_ by Howard Rheingold "Von Neumman's catastrophe of the infinite regress" A mathematical demonstration by John Von Neumann, showing that any attempt to remove

Until Ulam took his idea to colleagues, the team working at Los Alamos had been stymied as to whether detonating such a bomb would be possible. The staging concept used implosive fuel compression before ignition and a fission-boosted spark plug. The idea, in a way, changed the course of history by making the bomb possible, something Ulam didn’t take lightly. At Los Alamos, Ulam is quoted as having said, “It is still an unending source of surprise for me to see how a few scribbles on a blackboard or on a sheet of paper could change the course of human affairs.” He also helped define and name the Monte Carlo Method, which is a mathematical method used to generate random numbers for statistical sampling problems. Ulam was born in Lemberg, Poland (of the Austrian Empire, now Lvov, Ukraine) and went to school at the Polytechnic Institute, also in Lvov, where he received a DSc (a Doctor of Science) in mathematics in 1933. Ulam also completed postdoctoral studies in Vienna, Zurich, and Cambridge. This Polish mathematician immigrated to the United States in the 1930s at the urging of colleague John von Neumann. While a visiting scholar at Princeton, Ulam had met von Neumann.

John von Neumann: 1903 - 1957 John von Neumann was born on December 3, 1903 in Budapest, Hungary, and educated at Zurich and at the universities of Berlin and Budapest. He died in Washington D.C., 1957. He was a maths prodigy in Budapest; as a child, he could divide two eight-digit numbers in his head, he entertained family guests by memorizing columns from phone books, then reciting names, addresses and phone numbers perfectly. Earning a doctorate at twenty-two, at twenty-three he became the youngest person to lecture at the University of Berlin. In 1930 he went to the United States to join the faculty of Princeton University and at the age of thirty, along with Albert Einstein, he was appointed one of the first professors of the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, New Jersey. His contribution to the development of the electronic digital computer was so important, that almost all such machines are now referred to as von Neumann processors. Through the 1930's and early 1940's, Von Neumann worked on game theory , hoping it would form the basis for a future exact science of economics. In 1937 he was accepted as a U.S. citizen and during World War II he served as a consultant on the

The main fields to which he contributed include various disciplines of pure and applied mathematics, mathematical and theoretical physics, logic, theoretical computer science, and computer architecture. Von Neumann was also actively involved in politics and science management and he had a major impact on US government decisions during, and especially after, the Second World War. There exist several popular books on his personality and various collections focusing on his achievements in mathematics, computer science, and economy. Strangely enough, to date no detailed appraisal of his seminal contributions to the mathematical foundations of quantum physics has appeared. Von Neumann's theory of measurement and his critique of hidden variables became the touchstone of most debates in the foundations of quantum mechanics. Today, his name also figures most prominently in the mathematically rigorous branches of contemporary quantum mechanics of large systems and quantum field theory. And finally - as one of his last lectures, published in this volume for the first time, shows - he considered the relation of quantum logic and quantum mechanical probability as his most important problem for the second half of the twentieth century.

John von Neumann, genius von Neumann is considered one of the greatest and most influential mathematicians of the 20 th century. At mid-century he was asked by the international congress of mathematicians to outline the next 50 years programme, similar to what Hilbert did in 1900. He was regarded as the only person who understood everything. His attempt was somewhat specialised (as recently described in Mathematical Intelligentser). He was rather worried about the domain problems of quantum mechanics, and emphasised the advantages of his theory of continuous geometry. He knew that there, all operators affiliated to a factor of finite type could be added on a common domain. He predicted that this might be how quantum mechanics would solve the problem of perturbing a Hamiltonian. He might yet be right, but this is not how the physicists have solved their models so far. His work on computers is covered here and his work on economics here Go to my HOME PAGE for more links.

John von Neumann and Cellular Automata John von Neumann was born in 1903 in Budapest and played an important role in different parts of science: He invented the concept of game theory, which is important in computer game playing, such as chess or checkers. He also contributed to algebra, proof and set theory. He also helped develop the quantum theory and the A-bomb. He is probably most famous for the von Neumann style computers, which have a different memory for data and instructions, however, in recent years justification of naming this concept after von Neumann is questioned by historians. In his last years he developed the concept of the universal constructor and the cellular automaton, on which we will focus here. He died in 1957 in Washington, DC. Von Neumann believed in the logic behind life. In fact he viewed life as a complex machine, as many have done before him (such as Descartes). He wanted to create life (artificially) himself, or at least machines based on the concepts of life. He approached this problem by simplifying life, but as we will see, he didn't carry this far enough, since his construct was (and still is!) too complex for any reasonable application. In the late 40s he held a series of lectures about this topic, which are still very important in artificial life and cellular automaton theory. In this lecutres he introduced a concept which he called automaton. A set of self-operating machines which had a strictly defined, mathematical behavior.

ARCHIVES HOME ACCESS POLICIES LOCATION, STAFF AND SERVICES COLLECTIONS ... Presidents of the Academies John von Neumann John von Neumann (1903-1957). When he was elected a member of the Academy in 1937, von Neumann was known for his contributions to the fields of mathematical logic and the foundations of quantum mechanics. But his interests were wide-ranging, and he went on to do distinguished work in other fields, including economics and strategic thinking. He is perhaps best known for his work in the early development of computers. As director of the Electronic Computer Project at Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study (1945-1955), he developed MANIAC (mathematical analyzer, numerical integrator and computer), which at the time was the fastest computer of its kind. Predating use the silicon chip, MANIAC was run on thousands of vacuum tubes. Von Neumann was born in Budapest, Hungary, in 1903, and studied in Berlin, Zurich, and Hamburg. In 1930, he joined the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study. He became a US citizen in 1937, and during the Second World War distinguished himself with his work in weapons development. In 1955, he was named a Commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission, a position he held until his death from cancer in 1957.
