Von Neumann was born in a Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary on February 28th, 1903. His father, Max, is young and handsome. With diligence, wit and good management, he was one of the bankers in Budapest when he was young. Von Neumann's mother is a kind woman, virtuous and docile, with a good education.
Von Neumann showed talent in mathematics and memory from an early age. At the age of six, he could divide eight digits in his mind, and at the age of eight, he could master calculus. 10 years old, he spent several months reading 48 volumes of world history, and was able to compare the current events with an event in history and discuss their military theories and political strategies. At the age of twelve, he understood the essence of Bohr's masterpiece "On Function".
19 14 summer, John entered the college preparatory class. On July 28th, 2008, Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, which started the First World War. Due to years of war and turmoil, the von Neumann family left Hungary and then returned to Budapest. Of course, his studies will also be affected. However, in the graduation exam, von Neumann's performance is still among the best.
192 1 year, von Neumann was already a mathematician when he passed the "mature" exam. His first paper was written with Fichte, when he was less than 18 years old. Max asked someone to dissuade von Neumann of Kloc-0/7 from specializing in mathematics for economic reasons. Later, the father and son reached an agreement that von Neumann would study chemistry.
In the following four years, von Neumann registered as a student of the Department of Mathematics of Budapest University, but he didn't attend classes. He just takes the exam on time every year and gets an A in the exam. At the same time, von Neumann entered the University of Berlin (192 1 year) and studied chemistry at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland in 1923. From 65438 to 0926, he obtained a degree in university chemistry from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. He also returned to Budapest University at the end of each semester and passed the course examination, and obtained a doctorate in mathematics from Budapest University.
Von Neumann's learning style of taking exams instead of attending classes was very special at that time, which was completely irregular in Europe. But this irregular learning method is very suitable for von Neumann.
During his stay in Zurich, von Neumann often used his spare time to study mathematics, write articles and correspond with mathematicians. During this period, influenced by Hilbert and his students Schmidt and Weil, von Neumann began to study mathematical logic. At that time, Weil and Boya were also in Zurich, and he was in contact with them. Once Val left Zurich for a short time, and von Neumann took classes for him. With wisdom and unique cultivation, Von Neumann is thriving. By the time he finished his student days, he had been at the forefront of mathematics, physics and chemistry.
1926 In the spring, von Neumann went to the University of G? ttingen as Hilbert's assistant. From 1927 to 1929, von Neumann was a part-time lecturer at the University of Berlin, during which he published articles on set theory, algebra and quantum theory. From 65438 to 0927, von Neumann went to Lviv, Poland to attend the congress of mathematicians. At that time, his work on the basis of mathematics and set theory was already very famous.
From 65438 to 0929, von Neumann was transferred to the University of Hamburg as a part-time lecturer. 1930 went to America for the first time and became a visiting lecturer at Princeton University. The United States, which is good at pooling talents, soon hired von Neumann as a visiting professor.
In Princeton, von Neumann returned to Europe every summer until 1933 became a professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton. At that time, the Institute for Advanced Studies hired six professors, including Einstein, and von Neumann, who was only 30 years old, was the youngest among them.
1930 von Neumann married Marida Kaus. Their daughter Marina was born in Princeton on 1935. Von Neumann divorced his wife on 1937, married Clara Dan on 1938 and returned to Princeton together. Dan studied mathematics with von Neumann and later became an excellent programmer. After he married Clara, von Neumann's home is still a place where scientists meet, and it is still so hospitable, where everyone will feel an atmosphere of wisdom.
After the outbreak of World War II in Europe, von Neumann surpassed Princeton and participated in many scientific research projects related to the anti-fascist war. From 1943, he became a consultant to make atomic bombs, and still served in many government departments and committees after the war. 1954, he became a member of the American atomic energy commission.
1955 In the summer, he was diagnosed with cancer by X-ray, but he persisted in his work and his condition expanded. Later, he was placed in a wheelchair and continued to think, speak and attend meetings. Long-term heartless illness tortured him and slowly stopped him from all activities. /kloc-0 entered Walter Reed Hospital in Washington in April, 1956, and/kloc-0 died in the hospital on February 8, 1957 at the age of 53.
