American mathematician, working in Algebra, Mathematical Programming, Operations Research, and Statistics.
Also contributed to game theory.
Developed the dual simplex method in $1954$, independently from E.M.L. Beale.
With J.T. Howson, Constructed an algorithm in $1964$ for finding Nash equilibria the case of finite two-person games, for which he received the John von Neumann Theory Prize in $1978$.
