Mathematician who founded the Hilbert-space formulation of quantum mechanics, operator algebras and game theory, and defined the stored-program computer.
set theory, mathematical physics, functional analysis
Number theorist and matrix theorist who linked class field theory, integral matrices and eigenvalue localization, and made linear algebra a research field in its own right.
algebraic number theory, matrix theory, group theory
