John von Neumann ( von NOY-mən; Hungarian: Neumann János Lajos; December 28, 1903 – February 8, 1957) was a Hungarian and American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist and engineer. Von Neumann had perhaps the widest breadth of any mathematician of his time, integrating pure and applied sciences and making major contributions to many fields, including mathematics, physics, economics, computing, and statistics. He was a pioneer in building the mathematical framework of quantum physics, in the development of functional analysis, and in game theory, introducing or codifying concepts including cellular automata, the universal constructor and the digital computer. His analysis of the str…

John von Neumann (1903–1957) was a Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, computer scientist, engineer and polymath. He had perhaps the widest coverage of any mathematician of his time, integrating pure and applied sciences and making major contributions to many fields, including mathematics, physics, economics, computing, and statistics. He was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics in the development of functional analysis, the development of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata, the universal constructor and the digital computer. His analysis of the structure of self-replication preceded the discovery of the structure of DNA.

Von Neumann is a lunar impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon, in the northern hemisphere, named after polymath John von Neumann. It is nearly attached to the south-southeastern rim of the walled plain named Campbell. The crater Ley is attached to the northeastern rim of Von Neumann, and is somewhat overlain by the outer rampart. To the west is the prominent Wiener, and to the south-southwest is Nikolayev. This formation dates to the Late Imbrian epoch of the lunar geologic timescale. It has a wide inner wall with multiple terraces. The width of the inner wall varies around the perimeter, with the widest section to the south. There is some slumping along the inner wall to the n…

A Kiss Lajos-díj 2020. évi nyertese: dr. Bárth János. The Lajos Kiss Prize, awarded every two or three years since 2006, is considered to be a highly prestigious award for young onomasticians. The 2020 winner of the prize is Dr János Bárth, senior lecturer at the Institute of Hungarian Linguistics and Finno-Ugric Studies of Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. He was given this award for his contribution to Hungarian Historical Onomastics, especially for his research on place names.

Pelé Meets John Von Neumann in the Penalty Area. The movie A Beautiful Mind (2001) portrays the life and work of John F. Nash Jr., who received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994. A class of his theories deals with how people should behave in strategic situations that involve what are known as “mixed strategies,” that is, choosing among various possible strategies when no single one is always the best when you face a rational opponent. This chapter uses data from a specific play in soccer (a penalty kick) with professional players to provide the first complete test of a fundamental theorem in game theory: the minimax theorem. The minimax theorem can be regarded as a special case of the mo…

BARTA JÁNOS IRODALOMPROFESSZOR, A KOSSUTH LAJOS TUDOMÁNYEGYETEM 1957-es TANÉV REKTORA. Barta János was born in 1901 in a farming family. He completed his university studies in Budapest. During his time at Eötvös College his biggest inspiration was János Horváth the prominent literature scholar. In 1923 he graduated with a teacher degree in Hungarian and German, then between 1925-27 he was the student of Collegicum Hungaricum in Berlin. After his return to Hungary he started to publish books and studies on 19th century writers such as Imre Madách and József Katona. In 1950 he became professor at József Eötvös University, Budapest and from 1951 at the Lajos Kossuth University of Debrecen. In…
