  • Abstract
    Edward Teller assesses von Neumann´s influence on the development of mathematics, especially of his work on representation theory of noncompact groups. He stresses von Neumann´s early realization of the significance of computers. Wigner´s recollections of John von Neumann´s early years emphasize the influence of von Neumann´s early education on the development of his scientific creativity.
