Jack Edmonds/Temp
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Edmonds is a mathematician, regarded as one of the most important contributors to the field of combinatorial optimization.
Edmonds was the recipient of the 1985 John von Neumann Theory Prize.
From 1969 on, with the exception of 1991-1993, he held a faculty position at the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization at the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Mathematics. Edmonds retired in 1999.
From 1991 to 1993, he was involved in a dispute ("the Edmonds affair") with the University of Waterloo.
The Fifth Aussois Workshop on Combinatorial Optimization in 2001 was dedicated to Jack Edmonds.
