John Von Neumann was born in Budapest in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was born to wealthy Jewish parents, Miksa Neumann and Margit Kann, and was the firstborn of three boys. Mariette Kovesi was his first wife and they had a daughter together. After divorcing, Von Neumann married Klari Dan. Von Neumann attended ETH Zurich, where he received his undergraduate degree in chemical engineering, and Eotvos Lorand University (or University of Budapest), where he received a doctorate in mathematics. He obtained both degrees at the age of twenty-two. Important people in his life included Laszio Racz, Erhard Schmidt and Hermann Weyl, but probably most importantly David Hilbert, who interested Von Neumann in two important things: these two things, "the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics" and logic. mathematical. Another person who had a great influence on Von Neumann was Oswald Veblen who helped him get a job at Princeton. Other teachers, tutors and mentors who influenced Von Neumann were Lipot Fejer, Laszlo Ratz and Szego. Lipot Fejer was thesis or doctoral supervisor for Von Neumann; Laszlo Ratz was his mathematics teacher at Fasori Gimnaziumi high school; and Szego was his tutor. Von Neumann's desire to study mathematics began at a young age. By the age of six, "he could mentally divide two 8-digit numbers" and, two years later, "he was familiar with differential and integral calculus." At fifteen he began studying calculus, and by nineteen he had already published two major papers on mathematics. Early in Von Neumann's life, in 1914, World War I broke out. In the middle of Von Neumann's life in 1929, the Stock Market crashes and causes the Great Depression...... middle of paper ...... a 4-digit seed value is created and squared, producing an 8-digit seed value. number. The middle 4 digits of the result would be the next number in the sequence and would be returned as the result. Then, to create more numbers, the process continues. By writing the EDVAC project and creating the middle square method, Van Neumann was able to contribute to technology and mathematics. By creating the middle square method, computer technology and efficiency could be improved. Additionally, by coming up with ideas for the EDVAC, he was to create a next-level computer and thus continue to contribute to the advancement of the computer. From this discovery, I learned the necessity of mathematics in computer design. It was also interesting to learn how the computer developed over time and what great influence Von Neumann had on its improvement..
