#Gödel #EmilPost #VonNeumann #recursivity “I do not know if you have heard that "Post's problem", whether there are degrees of unsolvability among problems of the form (∃ y) φ(y,x), where φ is recursive, has been solved in the positive sense by a very young man by the name of Richard Friedberg. The solution is very elegant. Unfortunately, Friedberg does not intend to study mathematics, but rather medicine.” Gödel to Von Neumann

#ChatGPT, #Neural #TuringMachines, and similar efforts hint at the impending doom of us #vonNeumann #programmers. I had thought that we have a bit of time to loll about until #QuantumComputing matures, but I may have been too optimistic.

One of the fascinating books, "John von Neumann: Selected Letters", gives us a glimpse of the thinking von Neumann has about mathematics, physics, computer science, pure and applied sciences, science management, education, consulting, politics, and war. Readers of diverse backgrounds will find much interest in this first-hand look at one of the towering figures of twentieth-century science who integrated pure and applied sciences. #JohnVonNeumann #vonNeumann #Neumann #Polymath #SelectedLetters

von Neumann’s letter has it all: a discussion of the theory of spectra of Hermitian operators, inquiries about spin-geometries and not least of all, gossip. Lots of gossips. 🔗 https://www.cantorsparadise.com/john-von-neumanns-1935-letter-to-oswald-veblen-3acbe1b69098

"Su teoría de juegos proporcionó las herramientas conceptuales con las que las superpotencias de hoy deciden si emprender la guerra, los economistas modelan el comportamiento de los mercados y los biólogos predicen la evolución de los virus. La computadora programable pionera que von Neumann y su empleador, el Instituto de Estudios Avanzados en Princeton, N.J., completaron en 1951 estableció la 'arquitectura von Neumann' como el estándar para el diseño de computadoras hasta bien entrado el siglo XXI."

#ConwaysGameOfLife

Im Oktober 1970 stellt die Zeitschrift #ScientificAmerican ** unter der Rubrik „Mathematische Spiele“ ein Spiel vor, das schnell zum Kultspiel avanciert. Hintergrund des „Spiels des Lebens“ von John #Conway ist die Idee des zellulären Automaten - und die Hoffnung, das Leben selbst zu verstehen, zu simulieren oder sogar neu zu erschaffen.

#ARTE

#Mathematik hinter Gittern: Zwei #Gefangene müssen sich zwischen #Kooperation und #Verrat entscheiden, ohne sich absprechen zu können… Welche Entscheidung zahlt sich aus? Das berühmte #GefangenenDilemma führt uns ins Herz der #Spieltheorie und zur sehr philosophischen Frage, ob #Zusammenarbeit
sich lohnt.
