Extractions: 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. Howard Frisinger

Extractions: Notebooks (Tue May 6 14:36:32 1997) 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

The idea that people could use computers to amplify thought and communication, as tools for intellectual work and social activity, was not an invention of the mainstream computer industry or orthodox computer science, nor even homebrew computerists; their work was rooted in older, equally eccentric, equally visionary, work. You can't really guess where mind-amplifying technology is going unless you understand where it came from. - HLR

Extractions: 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 familys 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.

More general information about the award is also available. The 2002 John von Neumann Theory Prize is awarded by the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences to Donald L. Iglehart and Cyrus Dermanfor their fundamental contributions to performance analysis and optimization of stochastic systems. Regenerative Simulation of Response Times in Networks of Queues ) and series of papers with Gerald Shedler developed many novel system performance models based on these ideas. 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. Derman and Iglehart both took their Ph.D.s in Mathematical StatisticsDerman from Columbia and Iglehart from Stanfordand are Fellows of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. Also, Derman is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association and Iglehart is a member of the National Academy of Engineering. Both were attracted to Operations Research very early in their careers and held appointments in the field in engineering schools for about four decades, largely in the institutions from which they took their Ph.D.s. Both are excellent teachers who have inspired many students. Indeed, the Ph.D. students of both have also won several significant prizes and honors, and have been prominent in industry, research laboratories and universities.

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. Mathematische Grundlagen der Quantenmechanik (1932) built a solid framework for the new quantum mechanics. During this time he also worked in game theory and proved the minimax theorem. He gradually expanded his work in game theory, and with co-author Oskar Morgenstern he wrote Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour The second half of the 1930's saw von Neumann working with F J Murray on 'rings of operators' that are now called von Neumann algebras. He was able to investigate spaces with continuously varying dimensions.
