john von neumann
     
         /jon von noy'mahn/ born 1903-12-28, died 1957-02-08.
     
        a hungarian-born mathematician who did pioneering work in
        quantum physics, game theory, and computer science.  he
        contributed to the usa's manhattan project that built the
        first atomic bomc.
     
        while serving on the brl scientific advisory committee, von
        neumann joined the developers of eniac and made some
        critical contributions.  in 1947, while working on the design
        for the successor machine, edvac, von neumann realized that
        eniac's lack of a centralized control unit could be overcome
        to obtain a rudimentary stored program computer.  he also
        proposed the fetch-execute cycle.
