Von Neumann, John
Von Neumann, John (1903–57) US mathematician, b. Budapest. He left Hungary to teach at Princeton University (1930–33), and then at the Institute of Advanced Studies. In mathematics, Von Neumann helped to develop
game theory. His early contribution to
quantum theory was followed by work on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. Von Neumann is chiefly celebrated for his role in the early development of
computers. One of his first designs was used to test (1952) the first hydrogen bomb.
