Abstract
The essays in this collection are selected and revised from presentations at an international symposium, “The Computer and the Brain,” held in commemoration of John von Neumann at Arizona State University in spring 1987. The first four essays are devoted to von Neumann’s life. In addition, the collection contains correspondence between von Neumann and Ortvay. The final two essays assess von Neumann’s contribution to the development of the computer, and give a survey over trends in the field after von Neumann’s early death.
