'''John von Neumann''' (1903-1957) was a [[Hungary|Hungarian]]-born [[mathematician]] who immigrated to the United States when Hitler rose to power.  He was a child prodigy who contributed a broad range of fields, include [[Quantum mechanics]], [[Game Theory]] and [[computer science]].  He is credited with doing early work on the modern digital computer called [[von Neumann architecture]]<ref>John von Neumann (ed) (1945).
