John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing William Aspray
Publisher: The MIT Press

Cairns-Smith's book Seven Clues to the Origin of Life. In this essay I review publications that shed light on the origin of the computer and conclude that it was von Neumann who made the critical contributions in 1944 and 1945. John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing. The ideas of John von Neumann have had a profound influence on modern mathematics and science. In this article we will focus on his work regarding the modern computer. Another important figure was John von Neumann, an eminent mathematician, who became familiar with the ENIAC project and helped develop the concept of the stored-program computer. Neumann also participated in the Manhattan project. When you look at the origins of modern computers people will more likely refer to Alan Turing or John von Neumann or Konrad Zuse. John von Neumann (December 28, 1903 – February 8, 1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician who made major contributions to a vast range of fields, including set theory, functional analysis, quantum mechanics, ergodic theory, continuous geometry, economics and game theory, computer science, numerical analysis, hydrodynamics (of explosions), andstatistics, as well as many other .. Starting in late 1945, John von Neumann, Professor in the School of Mathematics, and a group of engineers worked at the Institute to design, build, and program an electronic digital computer.” (Source: “An Artificially Created Universe': The Electronic Computer Project at IAS.”) “Big data was born Bigelow's influence on modern computing originated during WWII. The basis for modern computer design, this called for the instructions and data to be kept separate from the part of the computer that would process the data. John von Neumann, however, is not just any mathematician, and his seminal work on self-replicating automata and game theory has had important, fundamental implications for evolutionary biology (as have, more indirectly, his contributions to There are two other similar quotes I have seen recounted by creationists, one from Harold F. Blum's book Times Arrow and Evolution (Harper 1962) and another from A.G. Their thoughts and John von Neumann was born in Budapest a few years after the start of the 20th century, a well-timed birth for all of us, for he went on to design the architecture underlying nearly every single computer built on the planet today. Our history is rich with mathematicians who helped advance our collective understanding of math, but there are a few standouts whose brilliant work and intuitions pushed things in huge leaps and bounds. All of these lived in the 20th century. The ENIAC, only put into service John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing.
