“THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN VON NEUMANN”

Today, more than fifty years after his death, von Neumann looms larger
than ever as one of the most significant scientists of the 20th
century, one of its greatest mathematicians, a father of the modern
computer and modern computational science, and a prophet of the age of
technology. My twin aim is to paint a picture of the fertility, power,
and sweep of his mind, and to describe how his ideas shaped the
future.

King Hall at 3.00 PM, Thursday, March 19th. 2009

All are Welcome
