John Von Neumann

Nació 1903 · Murió 1957

John von Neumann (húngaro: margittai Neumann János Lajos) fue un matemático húngaro-estadounidense que realizó contribuciones fundamentales en una enorme variedad de campos, entre ellos la teoría de conjuntos, el análisis funcional, la mecánica cuántica, la teoría ergódica, la geometría continua, la economía y la teoría de juegos, la informática, el análisis numérico, la hidrodinámica (de las explosiones) y la estadística, además de otros muchos campos de las matemáticas. En general se le considera uno de los matemáticos más destacados del siglo XX.

  • “The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work.”
