The Legacy of John Von Neumann (Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics)

by John Impagliazzo, Isadore Singer, James Glimm

The ideas of John von Neumann have had a profound influence on modern mathematics and science. Often considered one of the great thinkers of our century, von Neumann initiated major branches of mathematics - from operator algebras to game theory to scientific computing - and had a fundamental impact on such areas as self-adjoint operators, ergodic theory and the foundations of quantum mechanics, and numerical analysis and the design of the modern...
