During 1936 through 1938 Alan Turing was a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at Princeton and did his dissertation under Alonzo Church. Von Neumann invited Turing to stay on at the Institute as his assistant but he preferred to return to Cambridge; a year later Turing was involved in war work at Bletchley Park. This visit occurred shortly after Turing's publication of his 1934 paper "On Computable Numbers with an Application to the Entscheidungs-problem" which involved the concepts of logical design and the universal machine. It must be concluded that von Neumann knew of Turing's ideas, though whether he applied them to the design of the IAS Machine ten years later is questionable.

Poundstone, in [8], writes:- At the age of six, he was able to exchange jokes with his father in classical Greek. The Neumann family sometimes entertained guests with demonstrations of Johnny's ability to memorise phone books. A guest would select a page and column of the phone book at random. Young Johnny read the column over a few times, then handed the book back to the guest. He could answer any question put to him who has number such and such? or recite names, addresses, and numbers in order. In 1911 von Neumann entered the Lutheran Gymnasium . The school had a strong academic tradition which seemed to count for more than the religious affiliation both in the Neumann's eyes and in those of the school. His mathematics teacher quickly recognised von Neumann's genius and special tuition was put on for him. The school had another outstanding mathematician one year ahead of von Neumann, namely Eugene Wigner In 1921 von Neumann completed his education at the Lutheran Gymnasium. His first mathematics paper, written jointly with Fekete the assistant at the University of Budapest who had been tutoring him, was published in 1922. However Max Neumann did not want his son to take up a subject that would not bring him wealth. Max Neumann asked Theodore von

Von Neumann architecture From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The term von Neumann architecture refers to a computer design model that uses a single storage structure to hold both programs and data . The term von Neumann machine can be used to describe such a computer, but that term has other meanings as well. The separation of storage from the processing unit is implicit in the von Neumann architecture. The term "stored-program computer" is generally used to mean a computer of this design. Contents General History Von Neumann bottleneck Early stored-program computers ... edit General The earliest computing machines had fixed programs. Some very simple computers still use this design, either for simplicty or training purposes. For example, a desk calculator (in principle) is a fixed program computer. It can do basic mathematics , but it cannot be used as a word processor or run video games . To change the program of such a machine, you have to re-wire, re-structure, or even re-design the machine. Indeed, the earliest computers were not so much "programmed" as they were "designed". "Reprogramming", when it was possible at all, was a very manual process, starting with flow charts and paper notes, followed by detailed engineering designs, and then the often-arduous process of implementing the physical changes.

von Neumann , John Von Neumann Von Neumann was privatdocent (lecturer) at Berlin in 1926-29 and at the University of Hamburg in 1929-30. During this time he worked mainly on quantum physics and operator theory. Largely because of his work, quantum physics and operator theory can be viewed as two aspects of the same subject. In 1930 von Neumann was visiting lecturer at Princeton University; he was appointed professor in 1931. In 1932 he gave a precise formulation and proof of the "ergodic hypothesis" of statistical mathematics. His book on quantum mechanics, The Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, published in 1932, remains a standard treatment of the subject. In 1933 he became a professor at the newly founded Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, keeping that position for the rest of his life. Meanwhile, he turned his attention to the challenge made in 1900 by a German mathematician, David Hilbert, who proposed 23 basic theoretical problems for 20th-century mathematical research. Von Neumann solved a special case of Hilbert's fifth problem, the case of compact groups.

More general information about the award is also available. J. Michael Harrison The 2004 John von Neumann Theory Prize is awarded to J. Michael Harrison for his profound contributions to two major areas of operations research and management science: stochastic networks and mathematical finance. Over the past 30 years, Harrison has spearheaded the formulation, development and application of the theory of Brownian networks for performance analysis and control of stochastic processing networks. He has defined a framework with elegance and depth, communicating clearly its purpose and outstanding issues, and with Stanford students and co-authors has repeatedly demonstrated its success in structuring and addressing a range of important questions that arise in application areas as diverse as manufacturing and telecommunications. Under his intellectual leadership, heavy traffic theory has gone from being an esoteric pursuit practiced by a small band of devotees to being a powerful and widely accepted technique, used by many researchers in the applied probability/queueing community. In a pair of papers co-authored respectively with David Kreps and Stanley Pliska, Harrison showed that a price process is arbitrage free if and only if it is, when appropriately renormalized, a martingale for some equivalent probability measure. The careful definition and structuring of the general framework has stood the test of time: most of the theory of financial asset pricing in a dynamic setting is based squarely on the machinery laid down by Harrison and his collaborators. This literature numbers literally in the thousands of research papers. The equivalent martingale measure is also now a standard starting point for the analysis of optimal portfolio choice, a subject almost as large. It is difficult to overstate the impact that this work has had, ranging from the most abstract theory of stochastic processes to the day-to-day functioning of the financial industry.

General Computing Terms John von Neumann John von Neumann was the scientist who conceived a fundamental idea that serves all modern computers - that a computer's program and the data that it processes do not have to be fed into the computer while it is working, but can be kept in the computer's memory - a notion generally referred to as the stored-program computer . In his short life, von Neumann became one of the most acclaimed and lauded scientists of the 20th century. He left an indelible mark on the fields of mathematics, quantum theory, game theory, nuclear physics, and computer science. Born in Budapest, von Neumann was a child prodigy who went on to study chemistry in Berlin and Zurich, where he earned a Diploma in Chemical Engineering in 1926. His doctorate in mathematics (on set theory) from the University of Budapest followed in the same year. After lecturing at Berlin and Hamburg, von Neumann emigrated to the US in 1930 where he worked at Princeton and was one of the founding members of the Institute for Advanced Studies. At Princeton, von Neumann lectured in the nascent field of

Daniel R. Kunkle Student of Computer Science - Artificial Life and Intelligence kunkle@mail.rit.edu homepage of Daniel Kunkle 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.

Notebooks John von Neumann (19031957) 06 May 1997 14:36 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.

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.
