Biography
The oldest of three children, von Neumann was born J¡nos Lajos Margittai Neumann (two given names, two surnames respectively) in Budapest to Neumann Miksa (Max Neumann), a lawyer who worked in a bank , and Kann Margit (Margaret Kann). Growing up in a non-practising Jewish family, J¡nos, nicknamed "Jancsi", showed incredible memory at an early age, being able to divide eight-digit numbers in his head at the age of six. At the same age, when his mother once stared aimlessly in front of him, he asked, "What are you calculating?". J¡nos was already very interested in math, the nature of numbers and the logic of the world around him. He entered the Lutheran Gymnasium in . In , his father purchased a title, and J¡nos acquired the Austrian mark of nobility von , becoming J¡nos von Neumann—J¡nos was anglicised to John after he took up residence in the United States in the 1930s.

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.

This page contains details about each years winning submission(s). 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.

B C D ... 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

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.

, mathematician and technologist. Von Neumann is one of those individuals whose historical significance can be assessed adequately only by considering simultaneously several fields—in his case, pure mathematics, computer science, logical analysis, and the cold war. To many of his contemporaries von Neumann represented the paradigm of "the logical thinker"; one colleague wrote that his mind was "a perfect instrument whose gears were machined to mesh accurately to a thousandth of an inch." His logical powers were supplemented by unusual rapidity of thought, an extraordinary memory, and mathematical brilliance. Von Neumann left a rich legacy of work in mathematics proper. Pure mathematics spans a number of subspecialties, and von Neumann, in work of a highly technical nature, made substantial contributions to several of them. He also applied mathematics to physics (formulation of quantum mechanics), economics (game theory, which provides criteria for choosing moves in a game, such as checkers or poker, against an intelligent opponent), and computers (automaton theory). He was a major figure in modern computer development, and his study of automata led him to explore analogies between computers and the human brain. Steve J. Heims

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

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.

Web www.eumed.net John von Neumann, 1903-1957 John von Neumann (su nombre en húngaro es Margittai Neumann János Lajos) es un matemático húngaro considerado por muchos como la mente más genial del siglo XX, comparable solo a la de Albert Einstein. A pesar de ser completamente desconocido para el "hombre de la calle", la trascendencia práctica de su actividad científica puede vislumbrarse al considerar que participó activamente en el Proyecto Manhattan, el grupo de científicos que creó la primera bomba atómica, que participó y dirigió la producción y puesta a punto de los primeros ordenadores o que, como científico asesor del Consejo de Seguridad de los Estados Unidos en los años cincuenta, tuvo un papel muy destacado (aunque secreto y no muy bien conocido) en el diseño de la estrategia de la guerra fría. Nicholas Kaldor dijo de él "Es sin duda alguna lo más parecido a un genio que me haya encontrado jamás". Nació en Budapest, Hungría, hijo de un rico banquero judío. Tuvo una educación esmerada. Se doctoró en matemáticas por la Universidad de Budapest y en químicas por la Universidad de Zurich. En 1927 empezó a trabajar en la Universidad de Berlín. En 1932 se traslada a los Estados Unidos donde trabajará en el Instituto de Estudios Avanzados de Princeton. Sus aportaciones a la ciencia económica se centran en dos campos: Es el creador del campo de la Teoría de Juegos . En 1928 publica el primer artículo sobre este tema. En 1944, en colaboración con

John von Neumann He was born in Hungary, studied in Germany, and after 1930, mainly worked in the United States. In every branch of science he stepped in, he left outstanding results: mathematics, mathematical logic, quantum mechanics, design of computer, the theory of automata, and the theory of games. He was also deeply involved in US military policy as an advisor. The swiftness of his mind (or the CPU of his brain) is legendary. Whether true or not, it is said that his calculation was faster than any computer of his day. During and after the war, he was involved both in the development of nuclear weapons and of computers. He annoyed Oppenheimer (then the Director of Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) by bringing in the project of manufacturing IAS computer, against the policy of the Institute. He was also known as a reckless driver. Despite some (moral, say) misgivings, his contributions to science and technology are immense; and it seems quite silly ("legitimate" in some sense, though) to denouce this type of scientist on moral, social, or political (or whatever) grounds; everything considered, the balance is undeniably on the positive (good) side.
