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 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.

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.

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.

Supplementary toc ... to restore theology to the mainstream of science John von Neumann When George Cantor first announced the transfinite numbers, some theologians objected on the ground that the only actual infinity in existence is God. David Hilbert showed that these new infinities fitted easily into mathematics and described new class of infinite spaces now known as Hilbert spaces. John von Neumann used Hilbert space to resolve the apparent conflict between the particle and wave (discrete and continuous) descriptions of the world, opening the way for the consistent development of quantum theory. Hilbert space is a function space. This means that each point in the space represents a function. A function is a mapping between a set of elements called the domain of the function (say x ) to a set called the range of the function (say y ). We write this

Search Site Search Card Catalog Search a Book Home ... and Help Biography of John von Neumann (1903-57) "There are two kinds of people in the world: Johnny von Neumann and the rest of us." This quote is attributed to Eugene Wigner, a physicist who won the Nobel Prize. John von Neumann, whom people called Johnny, was a brilliant mathematician and physicist who also made three fundamental contributions to economics. First, a 1928 paper by von Neumann, written in German, established him as the father of game theory. Second was a 1937 paper, translated in 1945, that laid out a mathematical model of an expanding economy. This paper raised the level of mathematical sophistication in economics considerably. Third was a book coauthored with his Princeton colleague economist Oskar Morgenstern, titled Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. Morgenstern had convinced von Neumann that game theory applied to economics. In their book, von Neumann and Morgenstern asserted that any economic situation could also be defined as the outcome of a game between two or more players. But the semicompetitive/semicooperative nature of most economic situations, in which the value of the outputs is greater than the value of the inputs, increased the complexity, and consequently, the two were unable to offer solutions. "Nash equilibrium" solutions have since been found, addressing the skepticism that some economists had about the applicability of game theory to economics. In addition to game theory, their book gave birth to modern utility theory. Together, von Neumann and Morgenstern revived and mathematically structured the idea that individuals appear to be choosing among alternatives with probabilistic outcomes to maximize the expected amount of some measure of value termed "utility." This made clearer Knight's concept of risk. The definition of utility that they created led to the first coherent theory suggesting how we should make decisions when we know only the probabilities of some events.
