Book on John von Neumann

Recommended Posts

John von Neumann gave a formal axiomatic treatment that united the equations of Heisenberg and Shrodinger in 1932. This is one of his astonishing achievements in physics and many other fields. I'm writing a book on Johnny (his preferred name) and would like some opinions on the gravity and staying power of his work. Thanks.

Yeah that was a real mess, both disagreed with each other, Schrodinger just couldn't be satisfied without a physical explanation and the two were bitter towards each other even, but it is pretty astounding that they took completely different routes and ended up with essentially the same mechanics.
