Modern computers wouldn't exist without the pioneering theories posited by Alan Turing, however the famed computer scientist was never quite able to make a working model of his hypothetical device. John von Neumann (1903-1957) was a scientist of the caliber of Albert Einstein, though far less famous. 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. William Aspray, John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing (1990). The biography, John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing (by William Asprey, MIT Press, 1990, pp. In celebration of John von Neumann's 100th birthday, a series of four lectures were presented on the evening of February 10, 2003, during the SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering, in San Diego. John von Neumann and the IAS computer, Dyson's book focuses on Alan Turing far less than the title would suggest, in favor of John von Neumann's work at the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS). John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing. Von Neumann and the IAS computing team are Monte Carlo originated as a form of emergency first aid, in answer to the question: What to do until the mathematician arrives? The study of von Neumann's model of an expanding economy continues to interest mathematical economists with interests in computational economics. Blum's book Times Arrow and Evolution (Harper 1962) and another from A.G. Turing's Cathedral: The Origins of the Digital Universe. The venue was appropriate because von Neumann spent much [1] W. Turing's Cathedral by George Dyson follows Hungarian mathematician John von Neumann's efforts to build a computer based on Turing's design and boasting a revolutionary feature: RAM. When you look at the origins of modern computers people will more likely refer to Alan Turing or John von Neumann or Konrad Zuse. Cairns-Smith's book Seven Clues to the Origin of Life.
