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.

    Extractions: In his all-too-brief career, mathematician John von Neumann, one of the greatest polymaths of all time, managed to have profound impact on mathematics, quantum theory, economics, computer science, neurology, and other fields. Over time, as he moved through different disciplines, his work "moved in the general direction of the post-war scientific disciplines, which had a decreased emphasis on motion, force, energy, and power and an increased emphasis on communication, organization, programming and control." The theme of self-reference in systems runs through much of von Neumann's work; early on, von Neumann and other mathematicians tried to eliminate self-reference and the contradictions it seemed to cause in set theory. Self-reference was a key element in many of von Neumann's later contributions as well, from his treatment of the apparent regresses of game theory to the self-reproduction of organisms. Born in Budapest in 1903, von Neumann was the oldest son of a successful Jewish banker. He received an exceptional formal and informal education; family connections exposed him to many of Hungary's intellectual luminaries of the period, and the Lutheran Gymnasium (one of Hungary's best secondary schools) provided him with a university tutor to nurture his mathematical gifts. He enrolled at both the University of Budapest and the University of Berlin in 1921. From 1923 to 1925 von Neumann studied chemical engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, earning a degree in 1925, and the following year he earned his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Budapest. He became the youngest

    Extractions: December 28, 1903 - February 8, 1957 John von Neumann was a brilliant mathematician, synthesizer, and promoter of the stored program concept, whose logical design of the IAS became the prototype of most of its successors - the von Neumann Architecture. He was born Neumann Janos on December 28, 1903, in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. He was the first born son of Neumann Miksa and Kann Margit. Max Neumann purchased a title early in his son’s life, and so became von Neumann. Max Neumann was a non-practicing Hungarian Jew with a good education. He became a doctor of laws and then worked as a lawyer for a bank. He had a good marriage to Margaret, who came from a prosperous family. 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. When only six years old he could divide eight-digit numbers in his head. However, even at that young age, he had a wide range of interests. 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.

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.'')

    Extractions: von Neumann, John (1903-1957), world-famous mathematician who was professor of mathematical physics in the University and later a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study, was born on December 28, 1903, the son of a well-to-do banker in Budapest, Hungary. From the age of thirteen he showed a pronounced interest in mathematics, which was fostered by his teachers at the Lutheran High School of Budapest where Princeton's Nobel laureate physicist Eugene Wigner was also a student. After graduation from high school, von Neumann studied chemistry for two years in Berlin and for two years in Zurich but spent much of his time with mathematicians, taking a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Budapest not long after receiving his chemistry diploma at Zurich. Thereafter, he concentrated on mathematics and theoretical physics in further study at G”ttingen and Hamburg and after 1927 as a privatdozent in Berlin. In 1929 von Neumann accepted an invitation to come to Princeton as a visiting professor for one term. Given a continuing half-time appointment the following year, he spent one term each year in Princeton and one in Germany until 1933 when, at the age of 30, he accepted appointment as the youngest and one of the first professors in the newly founded Institute for Advanced Study. In 1937 he became a United States citizen. Von Neumann's brilliant work in mathematics also carried him into theoretical economics and technology as well as theoretical physics areas where he was able to make vital contributions not only to science but also to the welfare of his adopted country. His work in quantum mechanics gave him a profound knowledge concerning the application of nuclear energy to military and peacetime uses, enabling him to occupy an important place in the scientific councils of the nation. During the Second World War, he played a major role among the Los Alamos group of scientists who developed the atomic bomb. After the war he served on the advisory committee of the Atomic Energy Commission and on the commission itself from 1954 until his death.

    Extractions: This strongly interdisciplinary School aims at bridging three ``gaps'' in the vast field of large-scale quantum simulations. The first gap is between chemistry and physics, the second one between typical graduate courses in these fields and state-of-the-art research, and finally the one between the Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics communities. The participants will benefit from this School by learning about recent methodological advances within and outside their field of specialization. In addition, they get insight into recent software developments and implementation issues involved, in particular in the context of high-performance computing. The lecturers of this Winter School come from chemistry, physics, mathematics and computer science and this is true for the audience as well. Participants from thirty mainly European countries attend the NIC Winter School, and eighty contributions have been submitted for the poster sessions. This overwhelming international resonance clearly reflects the attractiveness of the programme and demonstrates the willingness of the participants to play an active role in this high-level scientific School.
