John von Neumann(1903-1957)毫无疑问是二十世纪最杰出的科学家之一。他对量子力学和数学物理学做出了重大贡献,并于 1943 年开启了他在计算机科学领域全新却又极其短暂的生涯。William Aspray 首次全面而详尽地记述了 von Neumann 对计算领域的诸多卓越贡献。Aspray 揭示出,这些贡献远不止于他在计算机系统设计与制造方面的著名工作,还涵盖了重要的科学应用、数值分析的复兴以及某种理论的创立

我推荐下面这本。不知道为什么,读完一本奥本海默的传记后,我就忍不住把这本也读了。Aspray, William (1990) John von Neumann and the origins of modern computing. MIT Press. (http://www.amazon.com/Neumann-Origins-Modern-Computing-Histo...)
I recommend the following. Don't know why, but after I read a biography on Oppenheimer I just had to read this too. Aspray, William (1990) John von Neumann and the origins of modern computing. MIT Press. (http://www.amazon.com/Neumann-Origins-Modern-Computing-Histo...)
Aspray 写的《John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing》是一部绝佳的历史记录,详细介绍了他的许多其他贡献(比如博弈论、自动机,特别是气象学)。
John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing (Aspray) is a great historical account and details many of his other contributions (e.g. game theory, automata, but especially meteorology).
…计算机,但书中大约有三分之二的内容涵盖了冯·诺伊曼和他共同完成的工作,并且有大量关于冯·诺伊曼的传记素材。不过显然更侧重于计算机。——《John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing》与 Goldstine 的书不同,这是一部冯·诺伊曼的传记,但与 Goldstine 不同的是,Aspray 并不是冯·诺伊曼的密切合作者。和 Goldstine 的书一样,它也更侧重于计算,而不是…
…computer but about two-thirds of the book covers work von Neumann and him both did together and there is plenty of biographical material on von Neumann. Obviously more focused on computers though. - John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing Unlike Goldstine's book this is a biography von Neumann, however unlike Goldstine Aspray didn't know von Neumann as a close collaborator. Like Goldstine's it also focuses more on computing, not as much…
