John von Neumann As a child von Neumann showed he had an incredible memory. 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

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.

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

What many of us like to think of as new and profound changes in the way science works, brought about by computer modelling and simulation complexity and all that travels alongside it, it was Johnny.

IEEE John Von Neumann Medal Award
Ivan Sutherland Receives IEEE Medal
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has awarded Ivan Sutherland , Sun Vice President and Fellow, the IEEE John Von Neumann Medal for pioneering contributions to computer graphics and microelectronic design, and leadership in the support of computer science and engineering research." The award, sponsored by IBM Corporation, is merely the latest achievement in a remarkably distinguished career for Ivan. Having also been honored recently with the Smithsonian Price Waterhouse Information Technology Leadership Award for Lifetime Achievement, Ivan's first experience with a computer was with SIMON, a relay-based mechanical computer that could add up to 15. Ivan reports his first big computer program was to make SIMON divide, and his division algorithm was the longest program ever written for SIMON a paper tape about eight feet long. From computer graphics and the head-mounted display that anticipated today's virtual reality systems, to robotics and integrated circuit design, and with his current position at Sun Microsystems Laboratories where he's exploring his Asynchronous System ideas, Ivan continues to relish tackling new challenges and technologies. Even with his long list of accomplishments, Ivan remains rather nonchalant in explaining what drives him. When asked why he does what he does, his response is "I just need to figure out how things work."

von Neumann, John
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.

His subsequent work, with his student Peter Glynn, significantly advanced the subject by incorporating techniques such as importance sampling. With Samuel Karlin, he studied the discounted infinite-horizon inventory problem in which product demands depend on a Markovian index of business conditions. He showed that the optimal ordering policy is base-stock and developed a beautiful and novel method of finding the index-dependent base-stock levels.

John von Neumann: 1903 - 1957 John von Neumann was born on December 3, 1903 in Budapest, Hungary, and educated at Zurich and at the universities of Berlin and Budapest. He died in Washington D.C., 1957. He was a maths prodigy in Budapest; as a child, he could divide two eight-digit numbers in his head, he entertained family guests by memorizing columns from phone books, then reciting names, addresses and phone numbers perfectly. Earning a doctorate at twenty-two, at twenty-three he became the youngest person to lecture at the University of Berlin. In 1930 he went to the United States to join the faculty of Princeton University and at the age of thirty, along with Albert Einstein, he was appointed one of the first professors of the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, New Jersey. His contribution to the development of the electronic digital computer was so important, that almost all such machines are now referred to as von Neumann processors. Through the 1930's and early 1940's, Von Neumann worked on game theory , hoping it would form the basis for a future exact science of economics. In 1937 he was accepted as a U.S. citizen and during World War II he served as a consultant on the

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.
