Our history is rich with mathematicians who helped advance our collective understanding of math, but there are a few standouts whose brilliant work and intuitions pushed things in huge leaps and bounds. The ideas of John von Neumann have had a profound influence on modern mathematics and science. $150 John von Neumann contributed a major piece of prescient thinking in the 1949 volume of Proceedings/Computation Seminar, December 1949, assembled by Cutherbert Hurd of the IBM Applied Science Department. In this essay I review publications that shed light on the origin of the computer and conclude that it was von Neumann who made the critical contributions in 1944 and 1945. 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. The venue was appropriate because von Neumann spent much [1] W.

Their thoughts and John von Neumann was born in Budapest a few years after the start of the 20th century, a well-timed birth for all of us, for he went on to design the architecture underlying nearly every single computer built on the planet today.

He was a pioneer in computer science, the first real computers were developed according to a basic model that takes his name (“von Neumann architecture”).
