他是一个多才多艺的人，在数学的许多领域都做出了巨大的贡献。遍历理论，随机计算，还有许多有待外行探索的课题都是JVN的工作。JVN被要求写一篇关于数学对外行来说是什么的文章，他写了一篇很有说服力的文章，因此他的语言能力与他的数学天赋是一致的。他描述了经验是如何跨越逻辑的，并警告我们凡人，我们是如何容易地从我们的道路转向最终的复杂和复杂的事物。“没有人知道所有的科学，爱德华·泰勒（Edward Teller）解释了科学知识的广度是多么的广阔，以及JVN的前额叶皮层是如何被一种深层次的思考机制所迷惑的

A polymath who made vast contributions to a multitude of fields in mathematics. Ergodic theory, stochastic computing, you name it, a nimiety of topics awaiting exploration by the layman were the work of JVN. JVN was asked to write an essay on what mathematics is for the layman, and he formulated an eloquent piece - so his linguistic prowess was in correspondence with his mathematical flair. He described how the empirical straddled the logical, and warned us mere mortals of how we could readily be diverted from our path to the ultimate complexity (simplicity) with convoluted matters. "Nobody knows all of science, not even JVN." - Edward Teller, illustrating how the scope of scientific knowledge was vast and how JVN's prefrontal cortex was addled with a deep thinking regime.

他提出了计算机的理论架构，被称为冯·诺依曼体系结构，他的贡献要大得多

He gave the theoretical architecture of computer, known as Von Neumann architecture and his contributions are far far greater. 11 number is very low rank for him. He wasn't much visible in popular culture that's why he is ranked so low, I suppose.

他在数学之外贡献了很多东西，包括量子物理、气象学、机器学习球拍、原子弹，这个家伙很有深度……他真的很高大，高斯时代的数学并不难……所以纽曼·文斯……他至少应该进前三名

He contributed so many things even outside of math also in quantum physics, meteorology, machine learning rackets, atomic bomb, this dude was deep... he was really large, the math in Gaus's times wasn't difficult... so Neumann vins)...he deserves to be at least in top 3 ever

他改变了他所想到的每一个领域，他与阿基米德并驾齐驱，没有人能比得上他思考的广度和深度

He changed every area he ever thought about. He ranks with Archimides and no one else is close to his breadth and depth of thinking.

他应该是第一名，因为他学习数学最难的领域

He should be the number 1, because he worked the most difficult areas of math.
