John von Neumann: Life, Work, and Legacy (Institute for Advanced Study)

The Institute for Advanced Study's free biographical page on John von Neumann, who joined its School of Mathematics at 30 — covering his work on quantum theory, game theory, the stored-program computer architecture nearly every machine still uses, and his wartime work.

Why I recommend it: Good background for anyone meeting "von Neumann architecture" for the first time. It is written by the institution that employed him, so it reads as tribute — his role in nuclear weapons work and his later strategic writing get far less space than the mathematics.
