American mathematician
George Adomian (1922 – June 17, 1996)[1][2] was an American mathematician, aerospace engineer, and academic of Armenian descent.[1] He developed the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) for solving nonlinear differential equations, both ordinary and partial.[2] The method is explained, among other places, in his book Solving Frontier Problems in Physics: The Decomposition Method (Kluwer, Dordrecht, 2004).[3]
He was educated at Cass Technical High School in Detroit. He earned a bachelor’s of science at the University of Michigan and a PhD in physics from UCLA[3] in 1961, advised by David Saxon.[4] His dissertation was titled Linear Stochastic Operators.[4]
He was a professor at Pennsylvania State University from 1964-66, and then was Chair of Applied Mathematics at the University of Georgia (UGA) from 1966 through 1989. While at UGA, he started the Center for Applied Mathematics.[3]
He was a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[2] He was also a member of SIAM, AMS, APS[disambiguation needed], Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, and Sigma Pi Sigma.[2]
