Remembering Norman Macrae at The Economist

OHN VON NEUMANN By Norman Macrae. 405 pp. New York: A Cornelia and Michael Bessie Book/ Pantheon Books. $25.
BY any measure, John von Neumann was a rare creature. Unequivocally one of the brightest minds of the 20th century, he made an indelible mark in mathematics, physics, economics, nuclear weapons technology and computer science, and had a hand in inventing at least three new fields -- cellular automata theory (showing how groups of inanimate cells can be made to behave as if they were alive), game theory (applying mathematics to the art of decision making) and the systematic study of the similarity of minds and computers. In one of his own pet phrases, he "jiggled the planet." So why is it that most people haven't the faintest idea who he was?
Good question. Norman Macrae, the former principal editor of The Economist, sets out to rectify matters in "John von Neumann," the first full-scale biography of this polymath, who was born Jewish in Hungary in 1903 and died Roman Catholic in the United States at the age of 53. And Mr. Macrae has some great stories to tell.
Von Neumann's grammar school tutor, we learn, "came home with tears in his eyes from his first encounter with the young prodigy." One of von Neumann's college professors happened to mention in class an "unsolved" problem in mathematics. "Johnny came up privately at the end, and solved it."When he was 17 years old, von Neumann decided to pursue his undergraduate and graduate degrees simultaneously, in two different disciplines and in two separate countries. He wound up getting a diploma in chemical engineering from Zurich's famous Federal Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Budapest, both in the same year, at the ripe old age of 22.
