Photo Dantzig invented the key method of optimization, which is both still widely used and is the foundation for other optimization methods. Dantzig was a chief analyst in supply planning for the Army Air Forces during World War II. His interest in the huge problems they had, first, led him to formulate the planning as mathematical equations. Then he had to have a way to solve the equations. In about 6 months in 1947 he devised the most important mathematical algorithm of the past 50 years - the simplex algorithm. The textbook he wrote on it, Linear Programming and Extensions , published in 1963 is still in print 42 years later. He was professor at UC-Berkeley, then at Stanford University for the rest of his career. He proposed that Stanford begin a cross-discipline program in operations research. You have probably heard the mythical story of the student who, thinking it was a class assignment, solved a problem Einstein couldn't solve. Even

Tobias was born in Russia, but went to France where he studied mathematics in Paris being taught there by . At this time Tobias met Anja who was at the Sorbonne at this time also studying mathematics. They married and emigrated to the United States, settling in Oregon. Tobias believed that his strong Russian accent would prevent him from obtaining jobs other than as a labourer, and at first his jobs included that of lumberjack, road builder and painter. It was into this very poor family that George was born. Tobias and Anja chose names for their children hoping that these would influence their future careers. George was named "George Bernard" after George Bernard Shaw since his parents hoped their first child would become a writer. Similarly George's younger brother was named Henry after , and he did indeed become a mathematician. Tobias was fortunate to gain the chance of reading for a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Indiana, while Anja obtained a Master's degree in French becoming a linguist at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.

Dantzig, George Bernard US mathematician, an expert in linear computer programming and operations research. His work is fundamental to many university courses in business studies, industrial engineering, and managerial sciences. Dantzig has been involved in all the main areas of mathematical programming. Dantzig was born in Portland, Oregon, and educated at the universities of Maryland and Michigan. During World War II he became attached to the Statistical Control Headquarters of the US Air Force. He was a research mathematician with the Rand Corporation at Santa Monica, California, 1952-60, and then became a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, moving 1966 to Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. A fundamental problem in economics is the optimum allocation of scarce resources among competing activities - a problem that can be expressed in mathematical form. In 1947 Dantzig discovered that many such planning problems could be formulated as linear computer programs. He also devised an algorithm, known as the simplex method, which was widely adopted for the purpose.

Example: [Brunvand, 1987] A young college student was working hard in an upper-level math course, for fear that he would be unable to pass. On the night before the final, he studied so long that he overslept the morning of the test. When he ran into the classroom several minutes late, he found three equations written on the blackboard. The first two went rather easily, but the third one seemed impossible. He worked frantically on it ten minutes short of the found a method that worked, and he finished the problems just as time was called. The student turned in his test paper and left. That evening he received a phone call from his professor. "Do you realize what you did on the test today?" he shouted at the student. "Oh, no," thought the student. I must not have gotten the problems right after all. "You were only supposed to do the first two problems," the professor explained. "That last one was an example of an equation that mathematicians since Einstein have been trying to solve without success. I discussed it with the class before starting the test. And you just solved it!"

39. Professor George Dantzig, Stanford Operations Research Dept. Professor george dantzig Linear Programming Founder Turns 80 One researcherin optimization contributed his favorite george dantzig story to SIAM News http://www.stanford.edu/group/SOL/dantzig.html

Professor George Dantzig: Linear Programming Founder Turns 80 SIAM News, November 1994 In spite of impressive developments in computational optimization in the last 20 years, including the rapid advance of interior point methods, the simplex method, invented by George B. Dantzig in 1947, has stood the test of time quite remarkably: It is still the pre-eminent tool for almost all applications of linear programming. Dantzig, who turns 80 on November 8, is generally regarded as one of the three founders of linear programming, along with von Neumann and Kantorovich. Through his research in mathematical theory, computation, economic analysis, and applications to industrial problems, he has contributed more than any other researcher to the remarkable development of linear programming. Dantzig's work has been recognized by numerous honors, among them the National Medal of Science (1975), the John von Neumann Theory Prize of the Operations Research Society of America and the Institute of Management Sciences (1974), and membership in the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. But he has his own basis for judging his work: "The final test of any theory," he said in the opening sentence of his 1963 book Linear Programming and Extensions , "is its capacity to solve the problems which originated it."

NEWS RELEASE May 25, 2005 Contact: Dawn Levy, News Service: (650) 725-1944, dawnlevy@stanford.edu Editor Note: A photo of Dantzig is available on the web at http://newsphotos.stanford.edu George B. Dantzig, operations research giant, dies at 90 George Bernard Dantzig, professor emeritus of operations research and of computer science who devised the "simplex method" and invented linear programming (which is not related to computer programming), died May 13 at his Stanford home of complications from diabetes and cardiovascular disease. He was 90 years old. A funeral service has been held. "George B. Dantzig is regarded by most experts as having been the initiator of and leading figure in the revolutionary scientific development of mathematical programming as a powerful method for optimally managing resources in literally thousands of applications in industry and government in the last three decades," said Arthur F. Veinott Jr., professor of management science and engineering. "So pervasive is the influence of Dantzig's simplex method that experts have estimated that from 10 percent to 25 percent of all scientific computation is devoted to it. Indeed, that method is probably the single most widely used algorithm originated in the last six decades." In 1947, Dantzig devised the simplex method, an important tool for solving linear programming problems in diverse applications, such as allocating resources, scheduling production and workers, planning investment portfolios and formulating marketing and military strategies.
