Extractions: George Dantzig studied mathematics at the University of Maryland, receiving his A.B. in 1936. The following year he received an M.A. in mathematics from the University of Michigan. Dantzig worked as a Junior Statistician in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics from 1937 to 1939, then, from 1941 to 1946, he was head of the Combat Analysis Branch, U.S.A.F. Headquarters Statistical Control. He received his doctorate in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1946. In that year he was appointed Mathematical Advisor for USAF Headquarters. In 1947 Dantzig made the contribution to mathematics for which he is most famous, the simplex method of optimisation. It grew out of his work with the U.S. Air Force where he become an expert on planning methods solved with desk calculators. In fact this was known as "programming", a military term that, at that time, referred to plans or schedules for training, logistical supply or deployment of men. Dantzig mechanised the planning process by introducing "linear programming", where "programming" has the military meaning explained above. The importance of linear programming methods was described, in 1980, by Laszlo Lovasz who wrote:-

http://www.siam.org/prizes/dantzig.htm

Extractions: search: 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. 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.

Professor george dantzig Linear Programming Founder Turns 80 SIAM News, November 1994
http://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~rrw1/opt95/dantzig.html

Extractions: Linear Programming Founder Turns 80 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."

Extractions: Among the early pioneers in the field whom I admired were economists: Alan Manne, Harry Markowitz, Tjalling Koopmans, Kenneth Arrow, Robert Dorfman, and Wassily Leontief; mathematicians: Johnny von Neumann, David Gale, Harold Kuhn, Lloyd Shapley, Al Tucker, Herb Scarf, and Ralph Gomory; and at the Pentagon: Marshall Wood and Murray Geisler. There were many others who also recognized the potential of linear and mathematical programming and made major contributions to the field." In May 2000, e-Optimization.com launched with George Dantzig as the first member of our Who's Who. A year later, George Dantzig welcomes us into his home as our first Optimization Trailblazer interview. The Father of Linear Programming discusses a career that encompasses many of optimization's milestones, described with his distinctive wit, humor, and humility. "My father was a mathematician who wrote popular books on mathematics. His most famous is his book entitled Number: The Language of Science.

Extractions: 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.
