John Von Neumann Segundo Paul Halmos

Finalmente o SB encontrou online a curta biografia de John Von Neumann publicada em 1973 no American Mathematical Monthly escrita por outro gigante matemático e também emigrado Húngaro, Paul Halmos. Selvagens, atentem para a receita de sucesso do gênio judeo-magyar: “Von Neumann was not satisfied with seeing things quickly and clearly; he also worked very hard. His wife said “he had always done his writing at home during the night or at dawn. His capacity for work was practically unlimited.” In addition to his work at home, he worked hard at his office. He arrived early, he stayed late, and the never wasted any time. He was systematic in both large things and small”.
