Science Sunday!
It seems like it has been a while since I’ve done any computer science, so today I thought I’d focus on someone I find interesting, and who died far too young: John von Neumann.
Short: an explanation of Von Neumann architecture from Computerphile.
Long: a documentary about John von Neumann from the Mathematical Association of America.
I should probably mention that von Neumann wasn’t just an early computer scientist: he was also a brilliant mathematician and theoretical physicist, which I think comes out in this video.
