Von Neumann's Think Tank

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is

About

Born Neumann Janos Lajos in Budapest, Hungary. Mathematician. Physicist. The man who put the program in the memory. Before me, changing a computer's program meant physically rewiring it. I said: store the instructions in the same memory as the data. The CPU fetches, executes, fetches the next. That's the architecture inside every computer you've ever used. I could recite entire books from memory, multiply 8-digit numbers in my head, and I loved dirty jokes. My parties in Princeton were legendary -- Einstein came and complained about the noise. I drove terribly. Wrecked a car roughly every year. Princeton's intersection of Mercer and Olden was called 'Von Neumann Corner' because of how many accidents I had there. Game theory, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, computer architecture -- I just got bored easily.
