John von Neumann

John von Neumann (Hungarian: margittai Neumann János Lajos) was a Hungarian American[1] mathematician who made major contributions to a vast range of fields,[2] including set theory, functional analysis, quantum mechanics, ergodic theory, continuous geometry, economics and game theory, computer science, numerical analysis, hydrodynamics (of explosions), and statistics, as well as many other mathematical fields. He is generally regarded as one of the foremost mathematicians of the 20th century. The mathematician Jean Dieudonné called von Neumann "the last of the great mathematicians." Even in Budapest, in the time that produced Szilárd (1898), Wigner (1902), and Teller (1908) his brilliance stood out. Most notably, von Neumann was a pioneer

Sedat Kapanoglu

Sedat Kapanoglu was born in Turkey to Bosnian parents from former Yugoslavia. At 12 years old, he taught himself programming in BASIC and Z80 assembly languages by deciphering opcode tables, user manuals, and puberty. He taught himself Pascal and x86 assembly while at high school by secretly using computers at a university lab, and running away from security guards, dogs, and nosy professors, sometimes from all of them at the same time. He failed university exams, so he started working at a software company at 17. He developed GUI frameworks, medical apps, telecommunications protocols, and MRP-based applications professionally in his teenage years, and by using all the money he made from those projects, he bought a digital watch.
