Still, a very good read.             Prisoner's Dilemma43 reviews William Poundstone Anchor, 1993 If there are 10 books you ever read in your life, this should be on the list... Without a doubt, this is one of the best books I have ever read. Part history, part biography, part cold war drama - all within a context of game theory and its evolution over the second half of the twentieth century. Educated as an accountant and true to my profession, I was never exposed to game theory in my schooling or professional career (properly so I might add). I was introduced to it ...             John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing (History of Computing)3 reviews William Aspray The MIT Press, 1990 A superb book on John von Neumann's many contributions to computer science John von Neumann was one of the greatest prodigies of the last century. His right-wing politics and the fact that he made seminal contributions to many fields of science account for his not having won a Nobel prize. Nevertheless many Nobel laureates considered his intellect far superior to theirs. v.N's many talents account for nobody having yet written a biography that does him justice, as ...             The Computer and the Brain: Second Edition (Mrs. Hepsa Ely Silliman Memorial Lectures)6 reviews John von Neumann Yale University Press, 2000 The un-digital brain. Perhaps the most famous and often quoted line in this remarkable book appears on page 39, where von Neumann declares that "The most immediate observation regarding the nervous system is that its functioning is prima facie digital." The "prima facie" modifier is commonly taken to mean von Neumann saw the brain as "obviously digital," or "patently digital," and that it therefore must ...             John Von Neumann: The Scientific Genius Who Pioneered the Modern Computer, Game Theory, Nuclear Deterrence, ...7 reviews Norman MacRae Amer Mathematical Society, 2000 Links mathematics, internetworking, humanity & productivity My father wrote this book after retiring from his career long job as The Economist's longest serving staff writer. Here are some comments on what other reviewers have said. It's true my father never studied for a phd in economics; if you'd just served in world war 2, got a first in economics in Cambridge and been offered a job at The Economist, you'd probably not have seen any practical point in ...             John von Neumann: Selected Letters (History of Mathematics)2 reviews Miklós Rédei American Mathematical Society, London Mathematical Society, 2005 Insight into the Thinking of a Renaissance Man John von Newman was one of the Renaissance Men of our century. He produced significant contributions in the areas of : Logic, Quantum Mechanics, Economics, Armaments, and Computer Science. As a case in point, the computer you are using to read this is almost certainly one based on von Newmann architecture. His work on the development of atomic weapons was as important as his development of the ...             Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics7 reviews John von Neumann Princeton University Press, 1996 Hilbert Space Formulation of QM The ultimate source of Hilbert Space applied to Quantum Mechanics. John von Neumann was the first to systematically formulate QM in such a powerful and elegant vector space. If this is the Bible of QM in HS, Hughes is the missioner! Get the book as well -- The Structure and Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics.             Theory of Games and Economic Behavior (Commemorative Edition) (Princeton Classic Editions)5 reviews John von Neumann, Oskar Morgenstern Princeton University Press, 2007 Landmark work but heavy going I'm not even sure I'm qualified to pass judgement on this book, but what I understand, I give 5 stars without hesitation. The authors discuss almost every class of game (2-person, 3-person, zero-sum, non-zero-sum, etc.) and even a very simplified version of poker. You basically have to be a mathematician to get full value from this book. This book is absolutely full of equations and ...             Continuous Geometry John von Neumann Princeton University Press, 1998 In his work on rings of operators in Hilbert space, John von Neumann discovered a new mathematical structure that resembled the lattice system Ln . In characterizing its properties, von Neumann founded the field of continuous geometry. This book, based on von Neumann's lecture notes, begins with the development of the axioms of continuous geometry, dimension theory, and--for the irreducible case--the function D(a). The properties of regular ...             John Von Neumann 1903-1957 (JVN) J. C. Oxtoley, B. J. Pettis American Mathematical Society, 1958 This is Bulletin , Volume 64, Number 3, Part II, May 1958. A memorial to the late John von Neumann edited by J. C. Oxtoby, B. J. Pettis and E. B. Price.             The Legacy of John von Neumann (Proceedings of Symposia in Pure Mathematics) James Glimm, John Impagliazzo, ... Amata Graphics, 2006 The ideas of John von Neumann have had a profound influence on modern mathematics and science. 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 computer.

John von Neumann and Norbert Wiener were mathematician-scientists, both child prodigies born near the turn of the century. As young men each made profound contributions to abstract mathematics.              search for books 1903-1957, behavior, century, classic, commemorative, compendium, computer, computing, continuous, deterrence, dilemma, economic, editions, foundations, geometry, lectures, mathematical, mathematics, mechanics, memorial, norbert, pioneered, princeton, prisoner, proceedings, scientific, selected, silliman, symposia, technologies books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
