John Von Neumann was born on December 28, 1903 in a place called Budapest, Hungry. As a child, Neumann was practically a genius. He was able to divide eight digit numbers in his head. He had an early education in Budapest. Von published his first paper when he turned 18 years old. He attended the University Of Budapest in 1921. His major in this college was chemistry. He earned a diploma in Chemical Engineering in 1925.
He earned a doctrine in the University of Budapest in mathematics. Also, Neumann also earned a doctrine in chemistry from the University of Zurich. He earned both of those doctrines at the same time. During his life time, he has contributed lot to computers. He used his knowledge to design the five parts of a computer. Those parts are the CPU, the Bus, Main Memory or RAM, the input devices and output devices. The CPU stands for central processing unit. It is the part of a computer that does most of the data. A bus is a set o physical connections which can be shared by multiple hardware components. Ram stands for random access memory. It is the most common computer memory which can be used by programs necessary tasks while the computer is on. An input device is what you call peripheral. It is used to put information into a computer. An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment used to communicate the results of data processing.
John Von Neumann died on February 8, 1957 In Washington D.C.
