Experiments in Chess on Electronic Computing Machines: Some Early Efforts,e view is that chess skill is a divine gift; some players seem to possess an intuitive feeling for the pregnant situation, amounting at times to an almost mystical perception. At the other extreme lies the theory that great chess is the result of consistent application of rational principles. Most w

How to Formulate Mathematically the Problems of the Rate of Evolution,n Doyle’s story, “ The Lost World,” was a fascinating book. The main character, Professor Challenger, was a natural scientist. Those who have read the book remember, perhaps, his terrific temper and the violent debates in which biologists engaged at that time and how Challenger’s terrible temper mad

Some Further Ideas and Prospects in Biomathematics,ent of problems arising in biology. The choice of topics is dictated largely by my predilections and in no way shall we attempt to illustrate the vast and rapidly increasing field of applications of mathematical techniques or even, more generally, the mathematical mode of thinking in the enormous va

Further Applications of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences,sical mathematics, the solution of differential equations, which describe physical phenomena, are not obtainable in a closed form by the methods of standard analysis. A lot of numerical work of heuristic value was done in Los Alamos during and after World War II, and this is perhaps a novel feature

Thermonuclear Devices, reactions would become an object of most intensive theoretical studies — and that such reactions would be produced on Earth and enter decisively into the new technology of the nuclear age.

,John von Neumann 1903–1957, intellect and a unique interpreter of mathematics, who could bring the latest (and develop latent) applications of its methods to bear on problems of physics, astronomy, biology, and the new technology. Many eminent voices have described and praised his contributions. It is my aim to add here a bri

Von Neumann: The Interaction of Mathematics and Computing, I’d go further and stress the very great possibilities that the same set of ideas, the same set of technological developments, can have in other natural sciences — primarily biology, for example, and that soon. One could call this the “ music of the future,” and I think this aspect of the future is
