John von Neumann: Genius of Man and Machine Early Life and Education in Budapest In 1903, Budapest was growing rapidly, a booming, intellectual capital. It is said that the Budapest that von Neumann was born into "was about to produce one of the most glittering single generations of scientists, writers, artists, musicians, and useful expatriate millionaires to come from one small community since the city-states of the Italian Renaissance." Indeed, John von Neumann was one of those who, through his natural genius and prosperous family, was able to excel in the elitist educational system of the time. At a very young age, von Neumann was interested in math, the nature of numbers and the logic of the world around him. Even at age six, when his mother once stared aimlessly in front of her, he asked, "What are you calculating?" thus displaying his natural affinity for numbers. The young von Neumann was not only interested in math, though. Just as in his adult life he would claim fame in a wide range of disciplines (and be declared a genius in each one), he also had varying interests as a child. At age eight he became fascinated by history and read all forty-four volumes of the universal history, which resided in the family’s library. Even this early, von Neumann showed that he was comfortable applying his mind to both the logical and social world.

John von Neumann (19031957)
(Tue May 6 14:36:32 1997) Johnny, as it seems everyone called him, was one of those people who are so bright it's hard to believe they were human. (Maybe he wasn't. There's an old joke about the Fermi Paradox, a problem which occured to Enrico Fermi one day at Los Alamos: where are They? If there are intelligent aliens out there in the universe, why aren't they here yet? A million years is nothing, as the universe reckons things, but, judging from our own track-record, a species only that much older than us would have technology which would blow our minds, pretty close to limits set by physical laws. Leo Szilard is supposed to have answered Fermi: ``Maybe they're already here, and you just call them Hungarians.'') About the only large current of the natural sciences in this century which von Neumann's work has not added to is molecular biology. Almost everything else of any signficance he touched: mathematical logic ; pure math ; quantum physics computing (which, as we know it, is largely his invention), cybernetics and automata theory; the

Computer Chronology
Everybody comes to this world with ten fingers. Those fingers are the most valuable computers. Can you operate your PC or laptop without your fingers? This lady knows how valuable they are. Some years ago, Chinese invented sophisticated fingers that can deal with numbers greater than ten. This is the Russian variation of the abacus. I obtained this computer while I was in Moscow in 1991. About 150 years ago, French artillery men invented this computer which can perform multiplication by addition. I still use the smaller (pocket sized) slide rule when I go to restaurants with my friends. I have to add 15-percent tip to the total bill (multiply by 1.15) and divide it by the number of people. This is a vacuum-tube circuit. I used to like vacuum tubes when I was a high-school student, and I was able to write an article about Marconi and Sarnoff three months ago. Indeed, in the 1940s, John von Neumann observed those tubes can perform "Yes or No" logic. We all know what happened since then. Richard Feynman was intensely interested in communicating with the nature. He was of course interested in the language of quantum mechanics.

Tools for Thought by Howard Rheingold April, 2000: a revised edition of Tools for Thought is available from MIT Press , including a revised chapter with 1999 interviews of Doug Engelbart, Bob Taylor, Alan Kay, Brenda Laurel, and Avron Barr. The idea that people could use computers to amplify thought and communication, as tools for intellectual work and social activity, was not an invention of the mainstream computer industry or orthodox computer science, nor even homebrew computerists; their work was rooted in older, equally eccentric, equally visionary, work. You can't really guess where mind-amplifying technology is going unless you understand where it came from.

About John von Neumann John von Neumann was born in Budapest Hungary on December 28th, 1903. Von Neumann's genius showed through early on in his childhood. At the age of six he was already showing an interest in math and was able to exchange jokes with his father in classical Greek. By the age of eight he became fascinated with history and read all forty-four volumes of the universal history, which resided in the family’s library.
John von Neumann received his early education at the Lutheran Gymnasium under the tutelage of Michael Fekete with whom he published his first paper at the age of eighteen. Von Neumann studied chemistry at the University of Berlin, until 1923 when he went to Technische Hochschule in Zurich where he received his diploma in Chemical Engineering in 1925. Von Neumann subsequently received his doctoral degree in Mathematics in 1928 from the University of Budapest at the age of twenty-two. His dissertation topic was set theory. Near the end of 1929, von Neumann was offered a visiting lectureship on quantum theory at Princeton University and by 1931 he was appointed full-time professor. In 1933 he was asked to be one of the original six Professors of Mathematics at the newly founded Institute for Advanced Studies at Princeton. He retained this position for the rest of his life.

Biografía de Neumann, John von Neumann, John von (1903-1957), matemático estadounidense nacido en Hungría, que desarrolló la rama de las matemáticas conocida como teoría de juegos. Nació en Budapest y estudió en Zurich y en las universidades de Berlín y Budapest. Viajó a Estados Unidos en 1930 para unirse al claustro de la Universidad de Princeton. A partir de 1933 se incorporó al Instituto de Estudios Avanzados de Princeton (Nueva Jersey). Adquirió la nacionalidad estadounidense en 1937 y durante la II Guerra Mundial ejerció como asesor en el proyecto de la bomba atómica de Los Álamos. En marzo de 1955 fue nombrado miembro de la Comisión de Energía Atómica de los Estados Unidos. Von Neumann fue un gran matemático. Destacó por sus aportaciones fundamentales a la teoría cuántica, especialmente el concepto de anillos de operadores (actualmente conocido como álgebra de Neumann) y también por su trabajo de iniciación de las matemáticas aplicadas, principalmente la estadística y el análisis numérico. También es conocido por el diseño de computadoras electrónicas de gran velocidad y en 1952 diseñó la primera computadora que utilizaba un programa archivado flexible, el MANIAC I. En 1956, la Comisión de Energía Atómica le concedió el premio Enrico Fermi por sus notables aportaciones a la teoría y al diseño de las computadoras electrónicas.

von Neumann, John
In 1930, von Neumann journeyed to the United States, becoming a visiting lecturer at Princeton University; he was appointed professor there in 1931. He became one of the original six mathematics professors in 1933 at the newly founded Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, a position he kept for the remainder of his life. He became a U.S. citizen in 1937. During the 1940s and '50s, von Neumann was one of the pioneers of computer science. He made significant contributions to the development of logical design, advanced the theory of cellular AUTOMATA, advocated the adoption of the BIT as a measurement of computer memory, and solved problems in obtaining reliable information from unreliable computer components. Moreover, his involvement attracted the interest of fellow mathematicians and sped the development of computer science. During and after World War II, von Neumann served as a consultant to the armed forces, where his valuable contributions included a proposal of the implosion method for making a nuclear explosion and his espousal of the development of the hydrogen bomb. In 1955 he was appointed to the Atomic Energy Commission, and in 1956 he received its Enrico Fermi Award. He was one of the last generalists among contemporary scientists. Author: H.

John von Neumann Theory Prize Winners
This page contains details about each years winning submission(s). More general information about the award is also available.
Cyrus Derman and Donald L. Iglehart
The 2002 John von Neumann Theory Prize is awarded by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences to Donald L. Iglehart and Cyrus Dermanfor their fundamental contributions to performance analysis and optimization of stochastic systems. Regenerative Simulation of Response Times in Networks of Queues ) and series of papers with Gerald Shedler developed many novel system performance models based on these ideas. His subsequent work, with his student Peter Glynn, significantly advanced the subject by incorporating techniques such as importance sampling. With Samuel Karlin, he studied the discounted infinite-horizon inventory problem in which product demands depend on a Markovian index of business conditions. He showed that the optimal ordering policy is base-stock and developed a beautiful and novel method of finding the index-dependent base-stock levels. Derman and Iglehart both took their Ph.D.s in Mathematical StatisticsDerman from Columbia and Iglehart from Stanfordand are Fellows of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Also, Derman is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and Iglehart is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Both were attracted to Operations Research very early in their careers and held appointments in the field in engineering schools for about four decades, largely in the institutions from which they took their Ph.D.s. Both are excellent teachers who have inspired many students. Indeed, the Ph.D. students of both have also won several significant prizes and honors, and have been prominent in industry, research laboratories and universities.

John von Neumann
Theory Prize Purpose: A prize is awarded annually to a scholar (or scholars in the case of joint work) who has made fundamental, sustained contributions to theory in operations research and the management sciences. The award is given each year at the National Meeting if there is a suitable recipient. Although the prize is normally given to a single individual, in the case of accumulated joint work, the recipients can be multiple individuals. The Prize is awarded for a body of work, typically published over a period of several years. Although recent work should not be excluded, the Prize typically reflects contributions that have stood the test of time. The criteria for the prize are broad, and include significance, innovation, depth, and scientific excellence. The award is $5,000, a medallion and a citation.

von Neumann, John
(1903 - 1957) ungersk matematiker, verksam i USA sedan 1930. John von Neumann var en av de viktigaste teoretikerna bakom den moderna datatekniken och har gett namn åt von Neumann-arkitekturen . Han formulerade också teorier om cellautomater och självreplikerande maskiner - en parallell till upptäckten av dna. John von Neumann räknas också, tillsammans med Oscar Morgenstern som den viktigaste teoretikern bakom spelteorin . Spelteorin användes i USA som ett verktyg för strategisk analys under det kalla kriget, och John von Neumann var med i den amerikanska atomenergikommissionen som ledde utvecklingen av USAs kärnvapenarsenal. De sista åren kom han till mötena i rullstol. Han och Henry Kissinger var förebilderna till Peter Sellers rollfigur Dr Strangelove.
