Timeline

1908

Theodore Samuel Motzkin (26 March 1908 – 15 December 1970) was an Israeli-American mathematician.

Motzkin's father Leo Motzkin, a Ukrainian Jew, went to Berlin at the age of thirteen to study mathematics.

He pursued university studies in the topic and was accepted as a graduate student by Leopold Kronecker, but left the field to work for the Zionist movement before finishing a dissertation.

Motzkin grew up in Berlin and started studying mathematics at an early age as well, entering university when he was only 15.

1934

He received his Ph.D. in 1934 from the University of Basel under the supervision of Alexander Ostrowski for a thesis on the subject of linear programming (Beiträge zur Theorie der linearen Ungleichungen, "Contributions to the Theory of Linear Inequalities", 1936 ).

1935

In 1935, Motzkin was appointed to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, contributing to the development of mathematical terminology in Hebrew.

1936

In 1936 he was an Invited Speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Oslo.

During World War II, he worked as a cryptographer for the British government.

1948

In 1948, Motzkin moved to the United States.

1950

After two years at Harvard and Boston College, he was appointed at UCLA in 1950, becoming a professor in 1960.

He worked there until his retirement.

Motzkin married Naomi Orenstein in Jerusalem.

The couple had three sons:

1951

Motzkin's dissertation contained an important contribution to the nascent theory of linear programming (LP), but its importance was only recognized after an English translation appeared in 1951.

He would continue to play an important role in the development of LP while at UCLA.

Apart from this, Motzkin published about diverse problems in algebra, graph theory, approximation theory, combinatorics, numerical analysis, algebraic geometry and number theory.

The Motzkin transposition theorem, Motzkin numbers, Motzkin–Taussky theorem and the Fourier–Motzkin elimination are named after him.

He first developed the "double description" algorithm of polyhedral combinatorics and computational geometry.

He was the first to prove the existence of principal ideal domains that are not Euclidean domains, being his first example.

He found the first explicit example of a nonnegative polynomial which is not a sum of squares, known as the Motzkin polynomial.

The quote "complete disorder is impossible," describing Ramsey theory, is attributed to him.
