OR/MS Today - June 2005 In Memoriam: George Dantzig Achievements and Accolades By Saul I. Gass George Bernard Dantzig, professor emeritus, Department of Management Science and Engineering, Stanford University, died after a short illness on May 13, 2005, at his home in Stanford, Calif. He was 90. Dr. Dantzig, a pioneer in the field of operations research and the management sciences, is regarded as the "father" of linear programming. Dr. Dantzig was born on Nov. 8, 1914, in Portland, Ore., to Tobias and Anja Dantzig. He was a mathematically precocious youngster who did well in high school mathematics and science. He received an A.B. in mathematics and physics from the University of Maryland, College Park (1936); an M.A. in mathematics from the University of Michigan (1938); and a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley (1946). Dr. Dantzig's first job was as a junior statistician for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (1937-1939). In 1939, he entered the Ph.D. program in mathematics at Berkeley and was a teaching assistant to Jerzy Neyman. Although he completed his Ph.D. courses and dissertation in 1941, work and the exigencies of World War II delayed his receiving the Ph.D. until the spring of 1946. During the war, Dr. Dantzig was chief of the Combat Analysis Branch of Statistical Control, U.S. Army Air Force, Pentagon, Washington, D.C. Afterwards, he stayed on at the Pentagon as mathematical advisor to the comptroller of the newly formed Department of the U.S. Air Force. It was here that Dr. Dantzig, based on his study of Air Force deployment and logistical planning problems and its relationship to Leontief's inter-industry model, formulated the general linear programming problem and invented the simplex method for solving it.

PRIZES Prizes, Awards and Lectures Sponsored by SIAM The George B. Dantzig Prize Principal Guideline The prize, established in 1979, is awarded jointly by the Mathematical Programming Society (MPS) and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). The prize is awarded for original research, which by its originality, breadth and scope, is having a major impact on the field of mathematical programming. Prize Committee There will be an ad hoc prize committee appointed for each award jointly by the chair of MPS and the president of SIAM. The committee will consist of four members, one designated "Chair" by the chair of MPS, and it will represent a diversified view of mathematical programming. Committee appointments should be made at least two years before the prize award date. The MPS has the responsibility to notify its chair and the president of SIAM to make the appointments. For continuity, committee members will normally serve on two successive prize committees with the committee chair being a second-term member. Thus, two new members will be appointed and two members will be re-appointed every three years. Committee members will be members of MPS and/or SIAM. At least two members of the committee will be MPS members and at least two will be members of SIAM. The membership of the committee should also reflect the international character of the Societies.

Stanford Report, May 25, 2005 George B. Dantzig, operations research professor, dies at 90 BY DAWN LEVY 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.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL I was born in Renton, a suburb of Seattle, Washington, in 1911. I was the only child of Joseph and Elizabeth Stigler, who had separately migrated to the United States at the end of the 19th century, my father from Bavaria and my mother from what was then Austria-Hungary (and her mother was in fact Hungarian). I attended schools in Seattle through the University of Washington, from which I was graduated in 1931. I spent the next year at Northwestern University. My main graduate training was received at the University of Chicago from which I received the Ph.D. in 1938. The University of Chicago then had three economists - each remarkable in his own way - under whose influence I came. Frank H. Knight was a powerful, sceptical philosopher, at that time vigorously debating Austrian capital theory but gradually losing interest in the details of economic theory . Jacob Viner was the logical disciplinarian, and equally the omniscient student of the history of economics. Henry Simons was the passionate spokesman for a rational, decentralized organization of the economy. I was equally influenced by two fellow students, W. Allen Wallis and Milton Friedman The Chicago Economics Department was in intellectual ferment, although the central issues of the 1930's were very different from those in later times. I had never before encountered minds of that quality at close quarters and they influenced me strongly. For example, Knight supervised my thesis, which was on the history of production and distribution theories from 1870 to 1915

George Dantzig Anthology of Interest Monday, May 23. 2005 George Dantzig George Dantzig , inventor of the simplex algorithm, died recently. There's an interesting interview with him in The College Mathematics Journal . Unfortunately, you'll probably need to hit that link from a University campus or proxy server, or a library which has an electronic subscription to JSTOR Another notable thing about George Dantzig, besides the simplex algorithm . He once proved previously unsolved statistics problems when a professor wrote them on a black board as an example of an unsolved problem, and Dantzig came in late and mistook them for homework problems (see Snopes ). When he went to decide what to write about for his PhD thesis, his supervisor told him to put the "homework" problems in a binder, and he'd accept that as the thesis.

George Bernard Dantzig Nov 1914 - May 2005 George B. Dantzig, one of the founding fathers of Operations Research and creator of the simplex method, passed away on May 13, 2005, in Palo Alto California Dantzig began his study of mathematics at the University of Maryland (to receive his A.B. in Mathematics and Physics in 1936) and continued at the University of Michigan , where he received his Master’s degree (1937). Afterwards he went on to pursue his mathematical interests in Washington D.C. at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics from 1937 to 1939. Seeking a deeper understanding of mathematical statistics, Dantzig was successful in entering the PhD program at UC Berkeley under the guidance (and with the support) of Jerzy Neyman. The onset of World War II interrupted his studies from 1941 to 1946, when he worked for the Combat Analysis Branch, U.S.A.F., Washington D.C. , but he returned in 1946 to finish his doctorate. Also in 1946, Dantzig was appointed as the Mathematical Advisor to the U.S. Air Force Comptroller. His mission at this time was “to find a way to compute more rapidly a time-staged deployment, training and logistical supply program . His research leads him to formulate a model which focused on linear relations (as familiar at that time from activity analysis ). What proved unusual at the time was the fact that he employed a linear objective to be minimized. Thus, this was apparently the first formal instance of a
