It seems, von Neumann's main motivation to build the first computer was basically, to be able to simulate systems described by nonlinear partial differential equations, since, he argued, these are very important, but analog computing devices (widely used in that time) will never be able to do so. Can someone find a source? [[User:Boris Tsirelson|Boris Tsirelson]] 05:47, 28 April 2010 (UTC) |
