I. [Etats Unis] : American Mathematical Society | Année de publication : | Cop. 1990 | Collection : | Proceedings of symposia in pure mathematics, ISSN 0082-0717 num. 50 | Importance : | 334 p. | Présentation : | ill. | ISBN/ISSN/EAN : | 978-0-8218-1487-1 | Note générale : | Proceedings of the Summer Research Institute on the Legacy of John von Neumann held at Hofstra University Hempstead, New York, May 29-June 4, 1988 | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Résumé : | This volume contains the proceedings of an AMS Symposium in Pure Mathematics, held at Hofstra University, in May 1988. The symposium brought together some of the foremost researchers in the wide range of areas in which von Neumann worked. These articles illustrate the sweep of von Neumann's ideas and thinking and document their influence on contemporary mathematics. In addition, some of those who knew von Neumann when he was alive have presented here personal reminiscences about him. This book is directed to those interested in operator theory, game theory, ergodic theory, and scientific computing, as well as to historians of mathematics and others having an interest in the contemporary history of the mathematical sciences. This book will give readers an appreciation for the workings of the mind of one of the mathematical giants of our time. | Note de contenu : | références |
