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 eldest of three boys. Mariette Kovesi was his first wife and together they had a daughter. After divorcing, Von Neumann married Klari Dan. Von Neumann attended ETH Zurich, where he earned a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering, and Eotvos Lorand University (or University of Budapest), where he earned a doctorate in mathematics. He earned both degrees by the age of twenty-two. Important people in his life included Laszio Racz, Erhard Schmidt and Hermann Weyl, but probably most important David Hilbert, who interested Von Neumann in two important things; these two things, “the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics” and mathematical logic. 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 a thesis or doctoral advisor for Von Neumann; Laszlo Ratz was his mathematics teacher at Fasori Gimnaziumi High School; and Szego was his domestic tutor. Von Neumann's desire to study mathematics began at a young age. By the time he was six, he “could divide two 8-digit numbers in his head” and two years later “he was familiar with differential and integral calculus.” When he turned fifteen, he began studying calculus, and by the age of nineteen he had already published two important papers concerning mathematics. Early in Von Neumann's life, in 1914, the First World War began. In the midst of Von Neumann's life, in 1929, the stock market crashes and causes the Great Depression... half of the card... an initial 4-digit value is created and squared, producing an 8-digit number . The middle 4 digits of the result would be the next number in the sequence and returned as the result. " So to create more numbers the process continues. By drafting the EDVAC and creating the central square method, Van Neumann was able to contribute to the technology and mathematics. By creating the central square method, the technology and the computer efficiency could be advanced. Furthermore, by proposing ideas for the EDVAC, he would create a superior computer and, therefore, 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 has developed over time and what a great influence Von Neumann had in its improvement.
