David von Neumann

David von Neumann was a mathematician, physicist, and computer scientist known for foundational work in quantum mechanics, game theory, and computer architecture. He contributed to the development of the von Neumann architecture, a design for building computers that remains influential today. This architecture allows computers to store and process both data and instructions in memory, enabling flexible and efficient computing. His work helped shape modern technology and scientific understanding, bridging theoretical concepts with practical applications in computing and beyond.
