John von Neumann

John von Neumann (German: John von Neumann, December 28, 1903 - February 8, 1957), formerly known as Neumann János Lajos (Neumann János) Lajos, an American Jewish mathematician born in Hungary, has made significant contributions to many mathematical fields such as functional analysis, ergodic theory, geometry, topology, and numerical analysis, as well as computer science, quantum mechanics, and economics. He is known as the "Father of Game Theory" and "The Father of Computers." Von Neumann has been known for his extraordinary intelligence and memory since he was a child. Von Neumann published approximately 150 papers during his lifetime, including 60 pure mathematics papers, 20 physics papers, and 60 applied mathematics papers. His final work was an unfinished manuscript, later published under the title The Computer and the Brain, reflecting his interests in the final years of his life. He has worked at Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, United States.
