1945 AD Von Neumann writes the "First Draft" In June 1944, the Hungarian- American mathematician Johann (John) Von Neumann first became aware of ENIAC Von Neumann, who was a consultant on the Manhattan Project , immediately recognized the role that could be played by a computer like ENIAC in solving the vast arrays of complex equations involved in designing atomic weapons. John von Neumann a A brilliant mathematician, Von Neumann crossed mathematics with subjects such as philosophy in ways that had never previously been conceived; for example, he was a pioneer of Game Theory , which continues to find numerous and diverse applications to this day. Von Neumann was tremendously excited by ENIAC and quickly became a consultant to both the ENIAC and EDVAC projects. In June 1945, he published a paper entitled "First Draft of a report to the EDVAC," in which he presented all of the basic elements of a stored-program computer: A memory containing both data and instructions. Also to allow both data and instruction memory locations to be read from, and written to, in any desired order. A calculating unit capable of performing both arithmetic and logical operations on the data.

The John von Neumann Minerva Center for the Development of Reactive Systems A research group, headed by Prof. David Harel The John von Neumann Center was established in December 1997, thanks to a generous endowment from the ministry for Science and Technology (BMFT) of the Federal Republic of Germany, through Minerva, the joint committee for German-Israeli cooperation. Prof. Amir Pnueli was director until March 31, 2005, and Prof. Harel has taken over as of April 1, 2005. The title of the center has also changed somewhat. The mission of the center is to advance and promote the state of the art of developing complex reactive systems, mainly through the processes of specification (modeling) and verification. Our research will concentrate on visual formalisms and supporting tools for modeling, and on model checking techniques for verification. We shall emphasize both intra-object and inter-object approaches, using state-based and scenario-based languages and methodologies, and will also work on related topics, such as layout of graphs and GUI-based programming. Throughout, the relationship between our work and accepted standards, such as the UML, will be carefully maintained and extended. We will also cultivate joint work with industry and case studies, so that our work will not result in academic advances only. We plan to pursue some conventional and less conventional application areas, including service-oriented computing, biological modeling and health care processes.

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.

John von Neumann Next Index Prev As a result of these techniques and several others, computing and programming became faster, more flexible, and more efficient, with the instructions in subroutines performing far more computational work. Frequently used subroutines did not have to be reprogrammed for each new problem but could be kept intact in "libraries" and read into memory when needed. Thus, much of a given program could be assembled from the subroutine library. The all-purpose computer memory became the assembly place in which parts of a long computation were stored, worked on piecewise, and assembled to form the final results. The computer control served as an errand runner for the overall process. As soon as the advantages of these techniques became clear, the techniques became standard practice. The first generation of modern programmed electronic computers to take advantage of these improvements appeared in 1947. This group included computers using random access memory (RAM), which is a memory designed to give almost constant access to any particular piece of information. These machines had punched-card or punched-tape input and output devices and RAMs of 1,000-word. Physically, they were much more compact than ENIAC: some were about the size of a grand piano and required 2,500 small electron tubes, far fewer than required by the earlier machines. The first- generation stored-program computers required considerable maintenance, attained perhaps 70% to 80% reliable operation, and were used for 8 to 12 years. Typically, they were programmed directly in machine language, although by the mid-1950s progress had been made in several aspects of advanced programming. This group of machines included EDVAC and UNIVAC, the first commercially available computers.

Between 1922 and 1927, he produced eighteen major mathematical articles. Much of his early research can best be described as a response to Hilbert's mathematical program. (14) Sometimes called the "formalist" school of mathematics, (15) this approach was concerned with both the foundations of mathematics and axiomatization of mathematical physics. The attempt to establish various areas of mathematics on a secure axiomatic basis stood at the core of Hilbert's program, and von Neumann's projects were included in it. (16) Both men were interested in demonstrating how mathematics could become a widely applicable tool, even in fields that were, until then, not easy to formalize mathematically. (17) In explaining von Neumann's contributions to economics in this manner, his work reflects a belief in the relevant role mathematics could play in science and society rather than a genuine interest in economic issues.

The moon does have a far side which is impossible to see from the earth, but it doesn't mean that it's always dark. Each side of the moon is dark for no longer than 15 days at a time. Q. Where does sound come from? A. The air is always filled with sound waves. All things give off vibrations, but some have a low frequency which most cannot hear. The reason: it may take 3 minutes to make a single vibration. They may be caused by earthquakes and storms. Von Neumann, John: 1903-1957

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.

John von Neumann Perhaps the greatest mathematician of his time, John von Neumann (1903-1957) had a photographic memory and a superhuman ability to perform mental calculations. Von Neumann's security clearance allowed him access to ENIAC and EDVAC, the first large-scale digital computers developed in the United States. You can find a biography of von Neumann at The History of Computing , hosted by Virginia Tech and partially sponsored by a National Science Foundation grant. His 1945 paper, "First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC" is reprinted in Nancy Stern's book From ENIAC to UNIVAC: An Appraisal of the Eckert Mauchly Computers (Digital Press, 1981).

He would settle there, become a U.S. citizen, and spend a great deal of time during the course of his career moving among Princeton, New Jersey; Los Alamos, New Mexico; and Washington D.C. In 1933, Princeton established the Institute for Advanced Studies and asked von Neumann to be one of its original six professors of mathematics. He accepted, and he retained this position for the rest of his life. During World War II, von Neumann worked at Los Alamos on the development of nuclear weapons and energy. He also worked a great deal with early computers, and began to see potential in new and more efficient designs for these groundbreaking machines. After the war, in 1945, von Neumann drafted a report and machine description that would lead to the construction of the EDVAC, or Electronic Discrete Variable Automatic Computer. Von Neumann's report marked the first conceptualization of the stored-program computer. (It should be noted that in 1946, Maurice Wilkes of Cambridge University's Mathematical Laboratory designed a machine that would officially become the world's first operational stored-program computer.) Von Neumann was credited as one of the first to see computers as devices that could be used to solve specific problems through applied mathematics. His work with the Los Alamos group helped to develop synergy between computers' capabilities and the need for computational solutions to nuclear problems. His work is said to have accelerated the development of the hydrogen bomb.

ENIAC U. S. Army Dr. John von Neumann at the dedication of the NORD Dr. John von Neumann speaking on the occasion of the first public showing of the IBM Naval Ordnance Research Calculator (NORD) December 2, 1954. The complete speech appears in von Neumann's collected works, vol. V, MacMillan 1961. I digitized it from a cassette tape provided by Dr. Goldstine. I made a DAT copy of the cassette at 48,000 kHz stereo 16-bit linear encoding, Which I then loaded into an SGI workstation and used SOUNDFILER to crunch it down to 8 kHz mono in 8-bit mu-law encoding. Part 1 Mr. President, Mr Chairman, President ?Church, Mr. and Mrs. Watson, ? Julia, ladies and gentlemen, let me thank you first of all for a very kind introduction. I don't know how to comment on it. I first of all hope that I'm, and I know for sure that I'm expressing the same sentiment which everybody who has been involved in this thinking about computing machines, using computing machines, expecting to use computing machines, probably feels at this moment, namely, a sense of an obligation to express our admiration and our felicitation both to the U. S. Navy and to the IBM Corporation for having asked for the NORD, for having produced it, for having in common deliberations and decisions had to set standards as remarkably high as they were set ... and for having brought off this really remarkable achievement. I will say a few things about the importance of NORD, about what we hope it will do, and what it's significance in this development is. To talk about the significance of this development one first has to visualize what it's position in this development is.
