Excerpt: John von Neumann (English pronunciation: ) (December 28, 1903 - February 8, 1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician and polymath who made major contributions to many fields, including set theory, functional analysis, quantum mechanics, ergodic theory, continuous geometry, economics and game theory, computer science, numerical analysis, hydrodynamics, and statistics, as well as many other mathematical fields. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians in modern history. The mathematician Jean Dieudonne called von Neumann "the last of the great mathematicians," while Peter Lax described him as possessing the most "fearsome technical prowess" and "scintillating intellect" of the century. Even in Budapest, in the time ...
