Mathematical Sciences: International Symposium on "The Legacy of John von Neumann," Hempstead, New York; May 29- June 4, 1988

本项目是纪念约翰·冯·诺伊曼的研讨会，由美国数学学会组织，美国数学学会和工业与应用数学学会共同赞助。研讨会将于1988年5月和6月在霍夫斯特拉大学举行，恰逢诺伊曼诞辰85周年。约翰·冯·诺伊曼于1957年去世。除了国家科学基金会的支持外，IBM和斯隆基金会也将为这次研究研讨会提供支持。诺伊曼被称为“现代计算机之父”，他在计算机科学、逻辑学、遍历理论、流体力学、量子力学、原子能、代数、测量理论、计量经济学和武器等许多领域都做出了重要的研究贡献。研讨会将回顾冯·诺依曼在科学上的许多成就，并将讨论他帮助发展的数学领域的研究现状。

This project is a symposium in the honor of John von Neumann and is organized by the American Mathematical Society and sponsored by the American Mathematical Society and the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. The symposium will be held at Hofstra University in May and June of 1988 and will fall on the 85th anniversary of Neumann's birth. John von Neumann died in 1957. In addition to support by the National Science Foundation, both IBM and the Sloan Foundation will contribute support to this research symposium. Neumann is known as "the father of the modern computer" and contributed significant research to many fields including computer science, logic, ergodic theory, fluid mechanics, quantum mechanics, atomic energy, algebra, measure theory, econometrics and ordnance. The symposium will review the many accomplishments to science of John von Neumann and will discuss the current state of research in the mathematical fields that he helped to develop.
