John von Neumann
One of the most influential mathematicians and computer science pioneers of the 20th century. The foundational "von Neumann architecture" for modern computers bears his name. He is credited with the earliest articulation of what would later be formalized as the technological singularity concept.

The minimax theorem was first proved by von Neumann in 1928, asserting that in a class of games satisfying convexity and compactness, minimax and maximin are equivalent.
The Monte Carlo method was developed by mathematicians including John von Neumann during World War II while researching the atomic bomb, and was named after the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco.
In 1951, von Neumann proved the von Neumann inequality: for any contraction operator T and any polynomial p, ‖p(T)‖ ≤ sup{|p(z)| : |z| ≤ 1}.
