George Adomian (March 21, 1922 – June 17, 1996) was an American mathematician, aerospace engineer, and academic of Armenian descent. He developed the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) for solving nonlinear differential equations, both ordinary and partial. The method is explained, among other places, in his book Solving Frontier Problems in Physics: The Decomposition Method (Kluwer, Dordrecht, 2004).[1]
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.[1]
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.[1]
