Please correct this paragraph.

I tried to explain the things by using only easy word.

John von Neumann was said to be the cleverest man in the history. He was born in Austria-Hungary on December 28, 1903, and was a Hungarian-American scientist. He was a key figure of various fields, especially of mathematics; he is generally regarded as one of the best mathematician of his time. He is also known as an inventor of Computer. When he was 54 years old, he died of cancer on February 8, 1957. He was really gifted; for example, he had wonderful memory since his childhood. In his early years, he entertained friends by asking them to call out page numbers without thinking, and then spoke immediately the names, addresses and numbers from memory. In Neumann’s early 20s, his father, Max von Neumann, wanted John to become engineer. However, Neumann wanted to learn mathematics. He solved this problem by receiving his doctor’s degrees in mathematics with two minors at 23 years old.

John von Neumann was said to be the MOST INTELLIGENT man who ever lived. He was born in Austria- Hungary on December 28TH, 1903.     He became a Hungarian American mathematician, physicist and polymath. He was considered the foremost mathematician of his time. 
( HE IS NOT KNOWN AS THE INVENTOR OF THE COMPUTER - that’s CHARLES BABBAGE)
Unfortunately, on February 8, 1957, he died at the age of 54 from bone cancer.
He was gifted from a very young age. By age 6, he was telling jokes in Classical Greek, memorizing phone directories, and displaying remarkable abilities to do mental calculations.
He entertained friends by asking them to call out page numbers from the directories, and he was able to recall immediately the names, addresses and phone numbers on those pages. In his early 20s, his father wanted him to become a businessman, but Neumann wanted to become a mathematician. He resolved this problem with his father, by studying chemistry and mathematics, receiving his doctorate in Mathematics at the age of 22.
