Dictionary of Evidence-based Medicine 163 von Neumann, John (1903-57) John von Neumann was born in Hungary and moved to the United States in 1931 where he became a professor of mathematics and physics. He is credited with the development of game theory. His book, The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, which he co-authored with Oskar Morgenstern (1902-77), is regarded as a classic in the subject. In addition to his major contributions to the development of economic theory, he also made important contributions in cybernetics and hence the development of the modern computer and atomic physics.
