Graduated from the University of Budapest in Chemical Engineering.

# data[].attributes.body
Received doctoral degree in Mathematics.

# data[].attributes.body
Appointed 1 of 6 professors at Princeton University's "Institute for Advanced Study."

# data[].attributes.body
His work in World War II led him to believe machines could be used for computation.

Howard Aiken's "Harvard Mark I (ASCC) calculator" sparked von Neumann's curiosity in computers.

# data[].attributes.body
Decided to develop his own computer. Devloped the "Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS)" computer.

# data[].attributes.body
His work on the IAS and EDVAC computer systems led him to produce a system called von Neumann Architecture. The system allowed programs to be stored and processed within one main unit. This was von Neumann's main contribution to the world of computers. His system allowed for computers to decrease drastically in size.

John von Neumann not only made contributions to the areas of math and science, but also to the computer industry. Working on some of the earliest of computers, von Neumann is due much of the credit for our extensive technology today. His discovery of how computers could store and process programs influenced the future of computers greatly. Almost all computer systems today; be it desktop, laptop, or mobile phone; use von Neumann's technology. Without his work in the area of computers, we would not have the portability that we've come to expect from our electronic devices.
